Windows 10: Why is Hyper V So bad?

Been on this for days now, trying to run enhanced session.

First ubuntu failed to run enhanced despite trying everything an following every fix, but at least that runs, never had an issue with oracle vm box an installing windows operating systems either.

Just spent several hours downloading windows 10, then installing, the enhanced dialog at least popped up, but I guess the usb options were hidden since I only saw adjust screen size. I shut down the VM (through the windows 10 shutdown), only to try to boot again an notice it wont.

Tried everything, wouldnt boot, then I inspected the disc, 36mbs, seriously, windows deleted itself. That was the first boot from a clean install, an its already gone... I dont even know what to google, hours of work down the drain, days ive spent, I just want 1 single enhanced session why does this take literal days for a slight hint of success, only to destroy itself. I cant even contemplate how it happened, windows was running, now its gone.

My ubuntu install still runs fine, just windows 10 decides to delete itself, despite fully being installed.

Oh an everytime I google anything, it returns me to a site that wants a microsoft login just to see the page

SMH time to waste another hour for whats likely going to delete itself again

Hyper V deativication

Hi Geoffrey,

Hyper-V lets you run an operating system or computer system as a virtual machine on Windows. Before proceeding in disabling
Hyper-V, please create a backup of your files for security purposes.

To disable Hyper-V, please follow the steps below:

• On the Cortana search box, type Turn Windows Features on or off and press
  Enter.
• Look for the Hyper-V folder.
• Uncheck the tick-box next to the main Hyper-V folder and click
  OK.
• Restart your PC.

Should you have further questions, please let us know.

 

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!
