Windows 10: Do I need to purchase a license to create some virtual machines using Hyper-V under Windows...

For example, if my win11 has a genuine license, then when I enable hyper-v and use hyper-v to build local virtual machines while using win11, do I need to purchase the hyper-v license again?

Windows 10 guest virtual machine on a Surface Pro 4 using Hyper-V.

There is no such permit in the Windows 10 End User License Agreement. You will need to purchase an additional license to install in Hyper-V just like you would for a virtual machine.
