How to Enable VT-X/AMD-v in Windows 8.1 of HP Laptop
I enrolled in the "The Complete WordPress Website Business Course" of Gregg Davis under Udemy Online Course. In this course, he introduced two (2) types of environments to start developing WordPress websites: 1) Local Development Environments and 2) Live Website Hosting.
Local Development Environments
"The word "local" in this context means that the entire website, server and database exists on a single, private computer. Since websites need to be "served" using the same technologies that hosting companies use, you'll have to install a program to run a server on your own computer. This system allows you to develop and view websites without being connected to the internet, and without paying for a hosting account.
To do this, Local by Flywheel is free to use, and you don't need a Flywheel hosting account to use it. Local by Flywheel is designed for use with WordPress, and has an auto-installer so you can get new websites up and running very quickly. Another advantage of Local by Flywheel is that it includes email server, so you can test email sent from your websites."
Thus, by using this local development environment, I can explore WordPress.
Gregg Davies recommended two hosting companies that offers free trial accounts so that you can try out and test live server environments that you might use with your websites. 1) SiteGround has a wide variety of hosting plans, and your free trial is for 3 months, and it's the equivalent of their least expensive plan - the StartUp plan. 2) Flywheel is another, more robust type of hosting, called Managed WordPress Hosting. The 60 day trial allows you to get a feel for how the interface works, and see the differences between Standard Hosting and Managed WordPress hosting.

There are many other Web hosting companies, such as GoDaddy, Bluehost, HostGator, iPage, Hostinger.com, Justhost, 1&1, Web.com, Host1Plus, Media Temple, Sitebuilder.com, Domain.com, justhost.com, a small orange, StartLogic, etc.
Installing Local by Flywheel
After installing the VirtualBox, the Error message appeared "Error with pre-create check: “This computer doesn’t have VT-X/AMD-v. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory."
Installing Local by Flywheel
I installed Local by Flywheel in my HP laptop.
I clicked "Turn on Error Reporting."
I clicked "LET'S GO!"
I clicked "Yes." Then, it continued to install.
