Hyper-V, also known as Hyper-V Manager, is server virtualization technology on computers and is an essential component on Windows Server. When you activate Hyper-V, you can use Hyper-V to create virtual servers. Typically, we install VMWare virtual machines. However, instead of installing VMWare virtual machines, why not use an application available on the computer?
In essence, Microsoft doesn't want users to activate and use Hyper-V on Windows 10, so they hide it from the start. However, they don't lock it and leave it unactivated. This makes Hyper-V less known than VMWare, even though using Hyper-V when necessary is very useful.
How to Activate Hyper-V on Windows 10.
Step 1: To activate Hyper-V, first open the Start Menu and type 'control panel' to access this section.
Step 2: In the Control Panel, pay attention to the last line where you'll find the Programs icon. Click on it to access Programs and Features.
Step 3: Here, click on the option Turn Windows features on or off.
Step 4: You'll easily spot Hyper-V after accessing Windows Features. Your remaining task is to simply check Hyper-V and then press OK.
Step 5: The process of activating Hyper-V on Windows 10 is underway, and you need to wait for 1 to 2 minutes to complete this process.
After completion, we need to restart the computer to activate Hyper-V and use it successfully.
Step 6: Then, simply open Menu Start, and you'll see Hyper-V appear. Just click on it to start using.
By activating Hyper-V on Windows 10, you can use and create virtual servers for various purposes. Although not as advanced as VMWare in virtual server creation, Hyper-V is a built-in tool that doesn't require installation.
Simply because VMWare supports many operating systems and platforms that Hyper-V lacks. Additionally, installing Windows 10 or Ubuntu in VMWare is easy. For those passionate about exploring Linux operating systems, installing Ubuntu in VMWare is ideal.
