I need to turn on this mode for test of my new drivers.
My operations:
In bios I set a support of UEFI
Enable the option Security boot.
Reboot PC
Load msinfo32 and see
BIOS is in UEFI
Security boot is in off. Why?????
My OS is MS Win 10 x64 1703,
Videocard is Gigabyte Geforce GTX 650, the utility GPU-Z shows that card supports UEFI.
Ideas?
Need to set Platform Key in the BIOS. Thanks Alex for help.
Check the system summary, look for "BIOS MODE". It might be in legacy mode. (BIOS MODE)

I have a laptop with a legal, OEM, version of Win 10 Pro. I'm trying to figure out if I have to purchase another Win 10 Pro license if I create a VM with Win 10 Pro on that machine. Will it recognize the license in the base OS and allow me to operate the VM version under that license?
This VM is for software testing purposes and would not be shared.
Thanks!
The VM is not going to recognize the License of you're host computer.
But you can use the unlicensed version of Windows 10 for testing.
The Goal of VMs is that they are completely different machines.

Got Parallels installed
Downloaded and set up Windows image from - https://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/mac/
System type is 32-bit Operating System
How to change 32-bit OS to 64-bit OS on Parallels?
Thank you.
Those images are for 32-bit version. They don't provide 64-bit because you are really only supposed to run IE and test your site.
You can't change the bitness of the operating system.

I don't have Hyper-V available as one of the choices in Windows Features in Windows 8.1 (not the pro version). Any idea how could I have it?
My computer supports virtualization and virtualization is already enabled.
I have checked this question before but there's no real solution for Windows8.1.
If there's no viable solution, how can I update/upgrade to Windows8.1 pro from Windows8.1 home edition?
Hyper-V is a feature of the Pro/Enterprise Editions of Windows 8/8.1 and not of the Core Edition. You have to buy an upgrade key to go to Pro.

I recently had to enable VT for windows7 since I want to run ubuntu on vmware so I was wondering why isnt it enabled by default is it some kind of security issue or just not necessary for the average user?
There are several reasons, including "security" and "performance":

Intel virtualization technology can get hardware intensive and although the software requirement is low (Windows Vista) only modern CPUs made by INTEL ONLY such as Intel i7 support it.
Not all windows computers have an Intel CPU though (a good amount of them do). The only people that use the VTX technology are developers and people who want to run a different operating system than their computer came with, so not everyone. As for security issue, I'm not sure but it can get very RAM intensive. (i.e. the Android HAXM for developers has a default RAM usage of 2GB, and the minimum is 512 MB!).

Accessing a raw disk partition in Windows Vista requires kernel mode control, as opposed to for instance WinXP where you can access it from user mode.
However, I've heard that when it comes to USB flash memory, a partition can still be accessed from user mode even on Windows Vista.
Is this true?
Regards
/Robert
You can do this on Vista, you may need admin rights, but no special kernel mode driver is needed.
This question shows how to do it How do I read a disk directly with .Net? I was reading the data off the USB stick directly as the file system on the stick was corrupted.
