hello,
I am looking to access the BIOS of a VM on proxmox, because to use WSL2 you must activate the option of Virtualization in the BIOS.

Thank you in advance for your help
 
x, because to use WSL2 you must activate the option of Virtualization in the BIOS.
In that case you most likely need not to change anything in the BIOS of the VM - but rather:
* make sure that you have nested virtualization enabled on the PVE host:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Nested_Virtualization
* select a CPU type for your VM which has the virtualization flag (the default kvm64 cpu does not) - if in doubt, and if it's a single machine the Host type CPU is likely a good choice

I hope this helps!

P.S. you can enter the "BIOS" of the VM by typing hitting the `Esc` key while it boots up (but there you can mostly select the boot-device)
