Hyper-V uses the Windows hypervisor, which requires a physical processor with specific features. Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization technology.
When you need computing resources, virtual machines give you more flexibility, help save time and money, and are a more efficient way to use hardware than just running one operating system on physical hardware. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs. It lets you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine. Hyper-V is Microsoft’s hardware virtualization product. I encountered this error message when trying to run BlueStacks 5 on my Microsoft Surface 4 laptop running Windows 11 home edition.Īnd then I found out that Windows 11 home edition doesn’t have a Hyper-V installed by default.
