First, the Windows platform:
You can view it using Cpu-z.

Second, the Linux platform:
Execute the #cat/proc/cpuinfo (or #grep-e ' (VMX|SVM) '/proc/cpuinfo) command at the terminal to find the Flags section, if the output has VMX or SVM, which indicates support for virtualization technology.

Third, the flags section of the Linux display explains:
