I have been unable to get rid of the warning when booting vSphere that Intel Vt-x is unsupported on my PC. On my main PC, I have an Intel i3-12100F, Gigabyte H610M S2H DDR4 motherboard, 64GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 1080. I have tried disabling memory integrity, removing all Hyper-V features, make sure Vt-d is enabled in BIOS (there's no Vt-x setting) but nothing has helped. Has anyone else faced the same issue and solved it?

I recently tried on a spare PC with AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, Biostar B450MH motherboard, 16GB DDR4, GTX 1060 6GB and it booted the first time without issue, only with memory integrity disabled. I would much prefer to run it on my main PC though as it doesn't require me to switch on a separate PC just to run my lab. Thanks in advance.

I recycled the 120mm AIO (ID-COOLING) from an August 2018 pre-built and it has been more than adequate for my i3-12100F. Now that it's coming up to 8 years old, how long can it live realistically?

Shall I upgrade my CPU? I use the machine for gaming (Minecraft, CS2, Rust, TF2), video editing and sometimes as a VMware home lab

​

I could upgrade to the i5-12400f for £73, i5-14400f for £87 or i5-13500 for £113
