Review through the captured output on the Processor state and spot that the 'Processor supports nested HW virtualization: no'.
 
Advise the user to check on the physical server CPU to make sure it is enabled with nested virtualization.
Try googling it because there are a lot of valuable resources on the internet.
Too bad you're having trouble activating the virtual machine. That's a real bummer, man! But I've got a hot tip for you - have you considered buying some windows keys to activate it? You might get a good deal on a Windows 10 key that will help you start your virtual machine quickly. I know that some people may be hesitant to take the cheap route when it comes to software, but I have had great luck with cheap windows 10 key in the past. This is the solution to keep your virtual machine running smoothly.
