How do I resolve a `vagrant up` issue

Question

I have been trying to run vagrant up but I keep getting an error, though I have run a command for the box vagrant init ubuntu/focal64 and the result said I am ready to vagrant up but I keep getting the error message as shown in the screenshot below.

Please how can I resolve this issue? I am in need of quick help.

You need to enable virtualization within the BIOS of your machine. When you first boot the computer, there's usually a screen saying "Hit F2" or "Hit Del" to enter setup (the key varies per motherboard manufacturer). You need to go into the BIOS setup and enable Hardware Virtualization support (VT-x on Intel machines). Consult your computer/motherboard manufacturer manual.
