### Using System information
1. Launch MSINFO32.exe in a command prompt, or in the Windows search bar.
2. Check the value of **Kernel DMA Protection**.

3. If the current state of **Kernel DMA Protection** is OFF and **Hyper-V - Virtualization Enabled in Firmware** is NO:
- Reboot into BIOS settings
- Turn on Intel Virtualization Technology.
- Turn on Intel Virtualization Technology for I/O (VT-d). In Windows 10 version 1803, only Intel VT-d is supported. Other platforms can use DMA attack mitigations described in [BitLocker countermeasures](bitlocker/bitlocker-countermeasures.md).
- Reboot system into Windows 10.

4. If the state of **Kernel DMA Protection** remains Off, then the system does not support this feature.
For systems that do not support Kernel DMA Protection, please refer to the [BitLocker countermeasures](bitlocker/bitlocker-countermeasures.md) or [Thunderbolt™ 3 and Security on Microsoft Windows® 10 Operating system](https://thunderbolttechnology.net/security/Thunderbolt%203%20and%20Security.pdf) for other means of DMA protection.
