Do I have hardware compatibility problem to run Hyper-V ?

There are several requirements for Hyper-V compatibility some of which can be enabled in the system BIOS. The two main items are:

  • Virtualization Technology - may have a different label depending on motherboard manufacturer.
  • Hardware Enforced Data Execution Prevention.

This question came up when the Windows Emulator after installation did not appear and a message was shown as to the error:

" Unable to start because hyper visor is not running because hardware virtualization is not enabled."



It was strange because Hyper-V was enabled and working as shown.

To see all requirements for running Hyper-V I ran systeminfo command in the command processor in elevated mode and looks like everything is OK.


The problem lies elsewhere.
