General recommendations for old Laptops with obsolete BIOS
If you can recommend the optimal best distro for this
T510 Lenovo Thinkpad laptop with a very obsolete BIOS (almost 13 years old), here's some specifications: BIOS Version 1.24 (6MET61WW) BIOS Date (Year-Month-Day) 2010-06-07 Embedded Controller Version 1.13 CPU Type Intel (R) Core (TM) i7 CPU M 620 CPU Speed 2.666Hz Installed Memory 12288MB https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...os-4175721814/ that would be great! |

This link describes the problem with the obsolete bios after I experimented with numerous live distros: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...os-4175721814/ |
Knoppix 8.2 usb boots just fine
those modern distros have the "vmx (outside txt) disabled by BIOS installing linux &/or running usb live linux obsolete BIOS error.

Not having virtualization enabled should not prevent an OS from booting. If yiu do not intend to run any virtual software it should not matter and with the many PCs I own it has just been matter of entering the BIOS and enabling virtualization.
The OS is just reporting the warning and does not disable the setting. Even though you see the warning does the computer still boot up? Have you tried accessing the BIOS to see there exists a VT-x setting? |
