I found the following article which shows the steps on how to disable Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) and by following those steps I have disabled VBS, run the VM and got rid of the "Virtualized AMD-V/RVI is not supported on this platform" error.

    If you are going to use VBS then you need to enable HyperV.   And that may be a conflict.
