The crc tool setup then fails because it complains that my system doesn't support nested virtualization. I have done all the checks and installed the Intel Processor Identification Utility and found that my CPU does support virtualization and that it is enabled in BIOS. Even I have tried Docker and minikube and these seem to be working just fine inside a Linux VM in VirtualBox using the nested virtualization. So I wonder why does the OpenShift crc tool fail on setup that it can not find the nested virtualization support?</p> <p>Now I have read a solution page by Red Hat: <a href="https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6803211" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6803211</a><br> But this doesn't seem to be a solution it says nested virtualization is not supported.</p> <p>For me it is best to test things on my laptop in a Linux environment.<br> But as it is a company Windows laptop I am bound to Linux Virtual Machines.</p> <p>How can it be that Docker and minikube have no issue at all and OpenShift Local crc doesn't allow to be installed inside a Linux Virtual Machine?</p> openshift
