Are there any BIOS updates available for it?

No the laptop have latest bios installed that is available

Does the BIOS accept other changes?

 

[Najamciit]

No it does not accept any changes

The bios probably has the supervisor password enabled.

I added Lenovo link. You can't reset the supervisor password unless you know the current supervisor password.

The supervisor password, if set and active, is required to make changes to the bios.

Strange, I've sold a fair few Lenovos (B50-50, some ThinkPads, and others) and I've never had a problem enabling virtualisation.

I doubt that telling the BIOS to revert to default settings will help but I'd probably give it a try anyway. I'd also consider reflashing the BIOS to the same version.

Run it with admin privs? (right-click on it, run as admin)

setting BIOS defaults - it's an option normally in the BIOS's exit page/tab. Try that, save bios, reboot, go back into bios setup, change a setting and see if it sticks after saving.

 

[Najamciit]

Run as admin does not solve the issue means bios does not update

You can also try using the cdrom bootable bios update. Make the CD, reboot, hit f12 during post, choose cdrom

OP, I can't decipher that mtm you posted
Machine type is 4 characters, for laptop it starts with 20

Model is 6 characters long.

Mtm should be 10 characters total
