I have a VMware virtual machine running Windows 2008 Standard and I would like to enable the Hyper-V role for learning purposes, but the VMware workstation says my processor doesn’t support the virtualization features.
My development machine uses a Core2Duo E8200 which supports hardware virtualization.
Is there any additional setting I must do on VMware to enable this feature?
Hyper-V is a hardware virtualization solution and cannot be run on a virtual machine. If you want to enable Hyper-V you’ll need to do that on a X64 machine with hardware virtualization support and the execute disable bit both in the BIOS enabled.
Not all hardware supports virtualization, you can use a little tool from Steve Gibson to see if your system supports it: Securable
Hope this helps.
