Hello Syed_Muneeb,

Let me help you with this.

Based on the processor specifications this processor supports Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) only. This product can help you with virtual machines if:

  1. The motherboard supports VT-d or VT-x
  2. If the software does not need both VT's enabled.

In the VMware case, even though I am not a specialist on this product, I can tell you that is necessary to have VT-d and VT-x support enabled to make it work so since the processor is missing VT-x you probably will get error messages when trying to set it up.
