Windows 10: Hyper-V is it for Win 10 Pro ONLY

I have a The Windows 10 is Home... desktop PC... Hyper-V is it for Win 10 Pro ONLY...? If Hyper-V can run too on Windows Home... I must disable it to run VMs in Virtual Box or VMware Player??? How to disable Hyper-V in Windows 10 Home...?


I must enable Hyper-V if I want to run VM in Hyper-V,... correct? Hyper-V can run/import Virtual-Machine.vmdk files eg run VMs of extension vmdk...?

:)

 

Feature "Hyper-V Platform" missing in Win 10 Pro

[update: Found that my previous Win 7 Pro was 32-bit, so the Win 10 Pro is also in 32-bit. No "Hyper-V Platform" feature unless reinstall Win in 64-bit]

 

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 ?

 

Hyper-V

Only Pro or Enterprise versions can run Hyper-V, in addition to the other requirements listed at the link I provided earlier.
