How to enable my Intel Virtualization in my BIOS setup?

Okay so, I see videos on youtube with people who have the same laptop as me, and in their BIOS setup they have the option to enable intel virtualization, but for me when I go into my Bios setup I can't even find it! I used speccy to see if virtualization is supported on my CPU and it is but hyperthreading isn't… This is what it says…
Virtualization Supported, Enabled
Hyperthreading Not supported

But I still get error messages from my virtual machine saying: "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it."

Can Someone please help me get my virtual machine working!
