-  <b>Warning:</b> Qubes has no control over what happens on your computer before you install it. No software can provide security if it is installed on compromised hardware. Do not install Qubes on a computer you don't trust. See <a href="/doc/install-security/">installation security</a> for more information.
+  <b>Attenzione:</b> Qubes non può sapere cosa è successo sul tuo computer prima della sua installazione. Nessun software può garantire sicurezza se installato su hardware compromesso. Non installare Qubes su computer non affidabili. Vedi <a href="/doc/install-security/">installazione sicura</a> per maggiori informazioni.

-Qubes OS has very specific [system requirements](/doc/system-requirements/). To ensure compatibility, we strongly recommend using [Qubes-certified hardware](/doc/certified-hardware/). Other hardware may require you to perform significant troubleshooting. You may also find it helpful to consult the [Hardware Compatibility List](/hcl/).
+Qubes OS ha [requisiti hardware](/doc/system-requirements/) molto specifici. Per garantire la completa compatibilità, raccomandiamo di utilizzare [hardware Qubes-certified](/doc/certified-hardware/). Hardware diverso potrebbe richiedere particolari configurazioni e attività di troubleshooting. Potrebbe essere utile consultare la [Lista Hardware Compatibile List](/hcl/).
 
 Even on supported hardware, you must ensure that [IOMMU-based virtualization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input%E2%80%93output_memory_management_unit#Virtualization) is activated in the BIOS or UEFI. Without it, Qubes OS won't be able to enforce isolation. For Intel-based boards, this setting is called Intel Virtualization for Directed I/O (**Intel VT-d**) and for AMD-based boards, it is called  AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (or simply **AMD-Vi**). This parameter should be activated in your computer's BIOS or UEFI, alongside the standard Virtualization (**Intel VT-x**) and AMD Virtualization (**AMD-V**) extensions. This [external guide](https://web.archive.org/web/20200112220913/https://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/support/articles/000007139/server-products.html) made for Intel-based boards can help you figure out how to enter your BIOS or UEFI to locate and activate those settings. If those settings are not nested under the Advanced tab, you might find them under the Security tab.

-  <b>Note:</b> Qubes OS is not meant to be installed inside a virtual machine as a guest hypervisor. In other words, <b>nested virtualization</b> is not supported. In order for a strict compartmentalization to be enforced, Qubes OS needs to be able to manage the hardware directly.
+  <b>Note:</b> Qubes OS non è pensato per essere installato all'interno di una macchina virtuale quale guest hypervisor. In altre parole, non è supportata la <b>virtualizzazione nidificata</b>. Al fine di garantire l'isolamento Qubes OS deve infatti poter gestire l'hardware in modo diretto.
