HyperV Installation on Windows 10

Step 1: Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are required to successfully run Client Hyper-V on Windows 10:

• Windows 10 Operating System
• 64bit processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
• 4GB system RAM at minimum
• BIOS-level Hardware Virtualization support

Step 2: Setting Up Hyper-V

1. Ensure that hardware virtualization support is turned on in the BIOS settings

2. Save the BIOS settings and boot up the machine normally

3. Click the search icon (magnified glass) on the taskbar

4. Type Turn Windows features on or off and select that item

5. Select and enable Hyper-V

6. If Hyper-V was not previously enabled, reboot the machine to apply the change.

NOTE: As a best practice, configure networking for the Hyper-V environment to support external network connections. Also ensure that a virtual switch has been created and is functional.
