Windows 10: Hyper-V Requirements

How to do I verify Hyper-V Requirements?


I know the following:

1. Windows 10 Home > Need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro

2. 64-bit processor is installed on the laptop

3. Not sure how to tell if processor is Second Level Address Translation SLAT

4. 4GB RAM installed

5. Virtualization Technology is turned on via BIOS

6. Not sure how to know if Hardware Data Execution Prevention is turned on within BIOS


I do not want to buy/upgrade Windows 10 Pro item 1 if I cannot verify the requirements for items 3 & 6. So sticking with the info provided, I would appreciate any help given to resolve these issues.

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.
