    Bootable VHD's possible in Windows 10 Pro?


    Can't seem to find an answer to this online...

    I can make a bootable VHD of Win 10 in Win 7 but nobody seems to speak up about making a bootable VHD of previous Windows versions in Win 10...

    Anyone know if it's possible?

    Cheers

    Looks like it is possible:

    Install Hyper-V on Windows 10

    Didn't think to look for Hyper V till now-oops

    :)

    Windows 10 VHD Native Boot Installation--Officially Supported?

    Thank you for your reply. It is not so much that I require it, but that I really like the flexibility that it allows. If I have a new piece of software that I want to test, I can simply create a new VHD boot instance and try it out, and then have the possibility
    of discarding that boot instance.

    I know that VHD boot works on Windows 10, and have used it, but after being burned when trying to upgrade from Windows 8.0 to 8.1 and then from Windows 8.1 to 10 (neither allowed on a VHD boot installation), I am wondering what will the future hold for Windows
    10 "upgrades." By a Windows 10 upgrade, I am referring to that which will be deferred by checking "defer upgrades" in Windows 10 Updates Advanced Options for Windows 10 Professional.

    When you say, "I don't think Microsoft have made a statement regarding the supportability of Windows 10 within a VHD boot environment." that is what troubles me. For example, see here:

    Compare Windows 10 Editions | Windows for Business

    When microsoft compared the features of Windows 8 (or 8.1) core vs pro, one of the items that differed between the two was VHD boot. For example, see here: http://bit.ly/1LkNMup

    Makes me wonder if Microsoft will leave us in the lurch when it comes time to apply a feature upgrade to Windows 10 (as opposed to a security update).
