 Posted: 11:28 - 27 Apr 2020  Post subject: How to Enable Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home |
 |
|
I'm making this thread just to give the following information a slightly greater footprint on the internet, because most sources say it's impossible (and those sources are wrong).
Hyper-V is a fairly obscure feature that nobody cares about, but when you need it, you need it, and it's very annoying to discover that Microsoft demand you pay for Pro just to enable something that your computer should be able to do out of the box.
Turns out this article has the answers: https://www.itechtics.com/enable-hyper-v-windows-10-home/
In short, copy the following into a new txt file
| Code: | pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
del hyper-v.txt
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
pause |
Then rename the file to have a .bat extension.
(or download the file from here: https://www.itechtics.com/?dl_id=80)
Right click, run as administrator.
Done.
Can confirm it works and is not malicious, you can see it running each step automatically in the command prompt. It simply opens the Windows DISM tool and runs precisely the correct commands for setting up Hyper-V.

I've always run Pro so never an issue, but that script is pretty brilliant in its simplicity

I've got VirtualBox too, my machine's got tons of OS'es on it now
Yeah the Android emulator thing is via Visual Studio in Windows, so had to figure out a way to get Hyper-V working on there. |

I've been using Virtualbox for years mainly to run Kali. |

Turns out some (or all?) Linux setups on VirtualBox don't like it when you enable Hyper-V. Ubuntu died on me last night and no amount of playing with settings seemed to get it running again, even a clean boot from the original Ubuntu iso was failing at the last step. A bit of googling tells me this is a known issue.
Lucky for me, I enabled Hyper-V  , so Linux is now installed on that instead. No problems so far |
