Hello,
Yes, there is another way to enable hardware assisted virtualization without accessing the BIOS settings. You can use a tool called "Microsoft® Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool" to check if your system supports hardware assisted virtualization and if it is enabled.
Here are the steps to use the tool:
1. Download the tool from the Microsoft website:

2. Run the tool and accept the license agreement.
3. The tool will check your system and display a message whether hardware assisted virtualization is enabled or not.
If the tool shows that hardware assisted virtualization is disabled, you can follow these steps to enable it:
1. Restart your computer and enter the BIOS settings.
2. Look for an option called "Virtualization Technology" or something similar.
3. Enable the option and save the changes.
4. Restart your computer and run the Microsoft tool again to verify that hardware assisted virtualization is now enabled.
If you are concerned about using the BIOS settings because of the potential issue with the HDMI port, you can try connecting your laptop to a monitor using a VGA or DVI cable instead. Alternatively, you can try using a remote desktop connection to access your computer instead of connecting it to a physical display.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
