This documents walks through each option. Note: Hyper-V is built into Windows as an optional feature -- there is no Hyper-V download.
Can't start virtual machine because hypervisor is not running?
To resolve this issue, complete the following steps: Run the following command on the Hyper-V server: credit /set hypervisorlaunchtype Auto. Reboot the Hyper-V server. You can now start the VMs.
Why is my virtual machine not working?
Shut down your virtual machine. In Workstation, go to VM > Settings > Network Adapter. Ensure that the network adapter is connected (that is, the Connected and Connect at power on options are selected). Ensure that the network adapter is configured for NAT or Bridged, and not Host Only.
How do I activate hypervisor?
Ensure that hardware virtualization support is turned on in the BIOS settings.
Save the BIOS settings and boot up the machine normally.
Click the search icon (magnified glass) on the taskbar.
Type turn windows features on or off and select that item.
Select and enable Hyper-V.
How do I know if Hyper V is enabled?
Open Event Viewer. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Event Viewer.
Open the Hyper-V-Hypervisor event log.
If Windows hypervisor is running, no further action is needed.
Open the System log.
Look for events from Hyper-V-Hypervisor for more information.

What is virtualization What is a hypervisor and how is it used?
A hypervisor is computer software or hardware that enables you to host multiple virtual machines. Each virtual machine is able to run its own programs. A hypervisor allows you to access several virtual machines that are all working optimally on a single piece of computer hardware.
How does type 2 hypervisor work?
Type 2 Hypervisors The hypervisor runs as an application within the Operating System, which then runs directly on the host computer. The pre-existing Operating System manages the calls to the CPU for memory, network resources and storage. All of this can create a certain amount of latency.
How does a bare metal hypervisor work?
A bare metal hypervisor or a Type 1 hypervisor, is virtualization software that is installed on hardware directly. At its core, the hypervisor is the host or operating system. It is structured to allow for the virtualization of underlying hardware components to function as if they have direct access to the hardware.
How does a Type 1 hypervisor work?
A Type 1 hypervisor (sometimes called a 'Bare Metal' hypervisor) runs directly on top of the physical hardware. Each guest operating system runs atop the hypervisor. Each guest operating system then runs atop the hypervisor. Desktop virtualization systems often work in this manner.
How does the hypervisor work?
A hypervisor is computer software or hardware that enables you to host multiple virtual machines. With a hypervisor, each virtual machine or operating system you have will be able to run its own programs, as it will appear that the system has the host hardware's processor, memory and resources.
