Windows 10: No full screen console in Windows XP running as Hyper-V guest

I have an old DOS program that runs fine in a console window under native Windows XP. I've setup a shortcut on the XP machines and selected full screen. When the application runs it opens full screen.

On a Windows 10 with a Hyper-V instance of Windows XP the application is working just fine however no matter what I've tried it runs in a small box. The settings on the shortcut are the same as the ones on the native XP boxes that work.

Any Ideas?

Installing a Virtual OS using Hyper-V

They are correct, Virtual PC the "product" (which included XP), was only a feature of Windows 7.

Hyper-V came to Windows 8 and is in 10. It doesn't come with any built in O/S for guest use as Virtual PC did in 7.

Any O/S you install as a guest in Hyper-V has to be downloaded and/or purchased.

 

Hyper-V guest windows XP help needed

this isn't so much an issue with Hyper-V as it is an issue with the needing to locate a published update for the guest OS (Windows XP Pro SP3)
