WSL2 / Ubuntu 20.04 (Windows build 2004) (bootcamp) setup fails with errr code 0x80370102

The first thing I did, was enable WSL in the Windows Features dialog, then I installed Ubuntu 20.04 from the store. Befote doing anything else, I found an article WSL Kernel that said that I should install an update to the Linux kernal from here, this was an msi installer (wsl_update_x64.msi). I noticed there was an indication that the Virtual Machine Platform should have been enabled before installing Ubuntu, but it was too late by then. I then launched Unbuntu from the start menu link and a console window popped up with this error:

Installing, this may take a few minutes...WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370102Error: 0x80370102 The virtual machine could not be started because a required feature is not installed.Press any key to continue...

The microsoft article Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation Guide for Windows 10 says this for error (0x80370102):

Installation failed with error 0x80070003 or error 0x80370102    Please make sure that virtualization is enabled inside of your computer's BIOS. The instructions on how to do this will vary from computer to computer, and will most likely be under CPU related options.

but macs do not have a bios. So how do I ensure virtualisation is enabled on a Macbook PRO running windows 10 (2004) on bootcamp, without access to bios settings?

If I uninstall everything and disable WSL and Virtualisation and so this all over again in the right order, will this aleviate the issue or will I still need to change the bios setting which I have no access to.
