What is Hyper-V Virtualization Technology?
In this article, we’ll describe the system requirements and how to install it on Windows 10 after you define Hyper-V.
What is Hyper-V?
Hyper-V, a virtualization technology from Microsoft, lets you install and operate numerous virtual operating systems on one physical computer. Utilizing a robust desktop or laptop, you can leverage Hyper-V to deploy and manage Windows 7, 8, or Linux environments within Windows 10 or 11. Hyper-V lets you run many operating systems on one machine, saving time and enhancing productivity.
Or, you can install and run a Windows Server using this software on Windows 10 in a test environment.
Hyper-V is designed for 64-Bit processors and uses the hardware-based Hypervisor virtualization architecture. You must have a 64-bit processor to install it. Otherwise, you cannot install it if you have 32 processors.
But, you may set either 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems using this virtualization technique. Remember that you can only install it on operating systems that support 64-bit architecture.
Now, let us explain the two main terms of Hyper-V virtualization technology.
Client Hyper-V
Windows 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 can install and use Microsoft’s Hyper-V virtualization platform. To utilize this platform, you must manually activate it on your computer. The Microsoft website has full instructions on how to achieve this. If you install it, your computer’s processor must be 64-bit and support SLAT support.
If you install it, your computer’s processor must be 64-bit and support SLAT support.
Hyper-V Server
This version is an operating system in its own right, which offer free of charge by Microsoft. For example, there is no user interface such as Windows 2008/2012/2016, and it performs with the help of commands.
In addition, we can simulate the Core operating system of the Windows Server family. When used as a server OS, Microsoft’s server version is available for free download. You can also run multiple virtual computers with Hyper-V Server on the computer to install it. However, you must provide a remote connection to control virtual machines from the local or remote network.
After defining Client Hyper-V, let’s move on to the system requirements and installation of this program.
System Requirements
Before installing it on Windows 8x / 10 operating systems, review the system requirements. These requirements are;
- 64 Bit Processor
- 64 Bit Operating System
- Processor SLAT Support
- Minimum 4 GB RAM
You can install the Microsoft virtual machine program on your computer if you meet the system requirements.
Client Hyper-V Installation
Installing Client Hyper-V on the Windows 10 operating system is simple and created in a few steps.
Follow the steps below for installation.
- Click Control Panel / Programs and Features.
- Click the Turn Windows feature on or off.
- In the Windows Properties window, select Hyper-V and click OK.
- It is recommended to restart the computer after making any modifications.
Operating Systems Support
You can view support for Guest operating systems from the list below.
