Because this solution is enabled by virtualization, the processor of the Windows 10 machine must support virtualization technology.

This technology is called VT-x for Intel processors and AMD-V for AMD CPUs.

In addition to the CPU requirement, this virtualization technology also needs to be enabled in the BIOS setup.

Note: In some cases this technology is not enabled by default and must be enabled by updating the BIOS settings.

Refer to your Windows 10 machine vendor documentation for instructions to access BIOS.

The ISE Virtual Machine is deployed using Oracle VirtualBox hypervisor. Because only one hypervisor can be enabled on a system, you must disable/uninstall any other hypervisor, such as Microsoft Hyper-V, prior installation.

In order to run properly this solution has the following minimum hardware requirements:

  • CPU: minimum of 2 cores
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • Disk Space: 85 GB

AMD recommends a minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 1024. Some GUI elements do not display properly at lower resolutions.
