Not a VM expert on FreeNAS, but you'd need to provide more information so the folks here can help you.

Server specs
VM OS and purpose

Also not sure if this might be helpful it only allows me to assign the VM only 1 CPU not more

Pretty sure you need a E56xx cpu. Your CPU does not support the unrestricted guest. It does support EPT though, that is only half the requirements thought. I think with that CPU if you set the vCPU for your vm to 1 it might work.

I also watched your video and I hope you are not actually planning on using that server in the video for freenas? First if all you can not use a raid card with freenas and ZFS, you will lose all your data at some point. I suggest you do some research before you starting using zfs and making video's about it. Lots to learn.

The server in the video is what im having Issues with , lol

I have seen others on youtube using raid cards and thats why i did not think twice

My videos arent solely based on Freenas , the Nas install is just a project , because as ive said i have no more freespace
