What type of virtualization is the software you're running looking for? The CPU you have supports VT-x but not VT-d.

"Hyper V and Vmware ESXI " have specific HARDWARE requirements. Cheap consumer laptops likely do not meet these minimum requirements.
The hardware compatibility list is very specific. The DELL Inspiron 15R (M5110) is not listed.
Intel's VT-x feature must be enabled in the BIOS before applications can make use of it.

Unlikely. As noted above, you're looking for server level virtualization - it's just not going to be there on any notebook.
