Windows 10: Hyper-V Window in Windows 10 using Windows 7

I am using Build 1803. As far as I know, this is the latest one. I've done the procedures to open Hyper-V. I've tried to load the .iso file of Windows 7 into the Hyper-V window. But, I keep getting an error. I have tried everything. Finally, I began to suspect a hardware problem. I spoke to MSI who makes my motherboard. I told their support that I have an MSI Z370 Gaming M5 motherboard. The support guy told me this is indeed a hardware problem and that it is not unique to MSI. He told me that none of the newer motherboards with the new chipsets will run Windows 7 even under a Hyper-V Window. This is by design. Can you confirm this? The Microsoft website documentation currently available says that Windows 7 is one of those operating systems that will run in under the Hyper-V of Windows 10. What is the truth?

Windows 10 Host -- Windows 10 Guest Hyper-V -- GPU not detected

I am using the Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine software on 1 of my Windows 10 PCs and have all kinds of VMs (Guest OSes) under it.
By default, Hyper-V gives very basic GPU capability to the VMs, without even 2D acceleration, but for Windows Vista or higher Guest OSes, an option to have some 2D/3D GPU/DirectX acceleration exists by adding a RemoteFX adapter to the Guest OS.

When I do this, then run GPU-Z on the VM/Guest OS, NO proper (or any) info shows, see screenshot:

DxDiag info of GPU is here: Файл из Облака Mail.Ru

Expected: Show Microsoft logo as videocard maker logo, list OS used (Windows 10 in this case, but could be Vista, Windows 7, 8/8.1/etc), and amount of memory of the GPU (such as 128 MB, 256 MB/etc).

Please add!

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
