LeoMoon CPU-V

LeoMoon CPU-V is a lightweight and highly specialized diagnostic Windows tool designed to identify whether your CPU supports virtualization (VT) technology and if it's enabled in your system's BIOS.



This tool is the only program on the Internet that will help you to detect if your CPU supports Hardware Virtualization that supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

Virtualization technology is essential for users who want to run virtual machines on their PCs, enabling multiple operating systems to run simultaneously.

LeoMoon CPU-V is particularly useful for IT professionals, system administrators, and users dealing with virtualization tasks. It delivers accurate information about your CPU's capabilities in a straightforward and quick manner.

Highlights

• Detect if CPU supports Hardware Virtualization

• Supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
• English, Chinese, and Persian interface

What`s New

• Fixed a Windows bug thanks to Susanna Dzejachok for lending her computer
• Added proper support for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11
• Added Data Execution Prevention (DEP) detection
• Added Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) detection
• Added VM Monitor Mode Extensions detection
• Minor UI changes

Key Features

CPU Virtualization Detection: It can detect whether your processor supports Intel's VT-x or AMD's AMD-V virtualization technology. This feature is vital for running virtual machines or any software that requires these technologies.



VT Enabled Status: Apart from identifying support for virtualization, it also checks whether virtualization is enabled in your BIOS settings, providing a quick assessment of system readiness.

Processor Information: The tool offers basic information about the processor, including model name, clock speed, and number of cores, giving users a snapshot of their CPU's performance features.

No Installation Required: Being a portable application, it can run directly from a USB drive or any folder on your computer without needing an installation.

Minimal Resource Usage: The application is designed to consume very little system resources, making it ideal for users running multiple tasks simultaneously.

User Interface

This tool is as simple as software gets. The user interface is minimalistic, offering only the necessary information to users. Once you open the program, it automatically scans your system and presents the results in an easy-to-read format.



The interface contains a small window with three core areas: CPU details (processor name, cores), VT-x or AMD-V support, and the VT-enabled status. A green checkmark indicates that your processor supports virtualization and whether it is enabled in the BIOS.

This simplicity makes the program highly accessible even to non-technical users who just want to check virtualization status without delving into complex configurations.

Installation and Setup

• Download the app file from the official LeoMoon Studios website or FileHorse.
• Extract the contents to your desired folder or directly onto a USB drive.
• Double-click the LeoMoonCPU-V.exe file to run the application.
• Since there’s no installation process involved, there are no additional configurations or settings to worry about. The program is ready to use as soon as it's downloaded.

How to Use

• Run the executable file, and the program will automatically scan your CPU.
• The software will then display a simple window showing whether your processor supports virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD-V).
• Additionally, it will check whether the virtualization option is enabled in your BIOS.
• If the virtualization technology is supported but not enabled, you will need to enable it manually in your system’s BIOS settings to take full advantage of virtualization software like VMware or VirtualBox.
• For users who need to verify their virtualization settings quickly and efficiently, it makes the process nearly instant.

FAQ

What is virtualization technology, and why is it important?
Virtualization technology allows one computer to host multiple operating systems. This is essential for running virtual machines and performing tasks like software testing, server emulation, or running legacy applications. The app checks if your system is capable of this.

Does LeoMoon CPU-V require installation?
No, LeoMoon CPU-V is a portable application. You can run it directly from the folder where it's stored, without needing to install anything on your system.

Can LeoMoon CPU-V enable virtualization in my BIOS?
No, the software only checks if your CPU supports virtualization and if it's enabled in your BIOS. If virtualization is disabled, you will need to enable it manually by entering your BIOS setup.

Is LeoMoon CPU-V compatible with AMD processors?
Yes, the program works with both Intel and AMD processors. It checks for Intel's VT-x technology and AMD's AMD-V virtualization support.

Does LeoMoon CPU-V affect system performance?
No, this tool is a lightweight application and does not affect system performance. It only reads the CPU information and virtualization status without consuming significant system resources.

Alternatives

CPU-Z: A popular system monitoring tool that provides detailed information about your CPU, motherboard, and memory. It also detects CPU virtualization support but does not explicitly show if virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.

Speccy: Another hardware monitoring tool by Piriform that gives comprehensive information about the computer's specifications, including processor details and virtualization support.

HWiNFO: A more advanced hardware diagnostic tool that offers detailed real-time system monitoring and diagnostics, including CPU virtualization support.

Pricing

This tool is FREE to download and use. There are no hidden charges, subscriptions, or premium versions.

This makes it an ideal PC/laptop tool for anyone looking to quickly check their system's virtualization capabilities without spending any money.

System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
• Processor: Intel or AMD processor with VT-x or AMD-V support
• RAM: 512 MB minimum (though resource usage is negligible)
• Storage: Less than 1 MB for the program file
• Other Requirements: BIOS access (for enabling virtualization if needed)

PROS

• Simple and easy-to-use interface
• Portable; no installation required
• Supports both Intel and AMD processors
• Provides instant results
