    Can't Enable Hyper-V in Windows 10 Professional

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate your effort on this. As per my research the error code 0x800f0831 is generated when .Net Framework 3.5 is not enabled on the computer. I suggest you to try enabling .Net Framework 3.5 on the computer. Follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type appwiz.cpl and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Click on Turn Windows features on or off.
    4. Now, select the check box for .Net Framework 3.5 and click on
      OK.
    5. Restart the computer.


    You can also check if Virtualization feature is enabled in BIOS or not, if it is not enabled, I suggest you to enable it.



    You may also refer the troubleshooting steps performed by Jins Peter replied on August 13, 2019 in the thread

    Hyper-V on Windows Pro wont install
    and see if that helps.



    For additional information, you may also refer the article

    Disclaimer: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee
    that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.




    If the issue persists, I would suggest you to post your query in

    How to enable Hyper V windows 10

    Hi Don,



    For us to enable Windows 10 Hyper – V, we will be needing to meet its system requirements. One of its requirements is the Operating System, the Hyper – V role can only be enabled on these versions of Windows 10:

    • Windows 10 Enterprise
    • Windows 10 Professional
    • Windows 10 Education


    Since you’re currently running Windows 10 Home, you have the option to upgrade your Windows version to Windows 10 Professional. To do so, open up
    Settings > Update and Security > Activation. Here you can visit the store and purchase an upgrade.
