Windows 10: How to open the Hyper-V manager in Windows 10 Home?

Hi, I'm [redacted] and I am using Windows 10 Home v20H2 and WSL2 with Hyper-v and everything works fine!

But, I am not able to open the Hyper-v manager...

I know that Hyper-v is make for professional only, but I enabled it and am not able to open Hyper-v manager, Heck; The file doesn't even exist!

So, Is there any loophole or equivalent I can use?

:)

 

Where is the Hyper V Manager, How to I start it ?

I am trying to setup an XP virtual Machine on Windows 10 Pro.

I followed the steps in Neil Peterson article of 5/9/2016.

System Requirements - done - ok

Install Hyper-V - done - ok

Create a Virtual Switch - skip

Create a Virtual Machine

Create a Virtual Machine with Hyper-V Manager

These steps walk through how to manually create a virtual machine and deploy an operating system to this virtual machine.

• 
  In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New >
  Virtual Machine to bring up the New
  

Uhhhhhhhhh - this step obviously implies one knows

1) Where the Hyper-V Manager is

2) How to start the Hyper-V Manager

Isn't that odd ?

 

Moving Hyper-V to Another Disk

1. Export the virtual machines to the drive where you want to move them (tutorial).
2. When all VMs have been exported, delete them in Hyper-V Manager.
3. When Hyper-V Manager is empty, not showing any VMs, import the previously exported VMs (tutorial). In Option One Step 6 of the tutorial, you need to select Register the virtual machine in-place, or if choosing Option Two in tutorial, select Step 2.

Easy!

 

Firmware update or hyper-v causes automatic repair loop everytime

Microsoft does not upgrade BIOS firmware you have to install the BIOS firmware from your computer manufacturer website.

Use the following steps to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10:

• Open Control Panel.
• Click on Programs.
• Click on Turn Windows features on or off.
• Check the Hyper-V option making sure: Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform are also selected.
• Click OK to begin the process.
