    Windows 10 Hyper-V Running WIndows 10 as a guest OS


    I want to run WIndows 10 pro as a guest operating system running under WIndows 10 pro Hyper-V

    I currently run Windows 7 under Windows 10 pro Hyper-V.

    Should I just upgrade the Windows 7 "guest" OS to Windows 10?

    I'm thinking I'd like a fresh install and just copy over the things I want from Windows 7.

    Please advise.

    :)

    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:

    Larger shot is here: Dropbox - img-2017-02-23-10-18-28.png - Simplify your life

    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!

    No, the RemoteFX adapter provides good enough 2D/3D acceleration just fine. Not software in any way, it is full hardware 2D/3D acceleration.
    I am not using a generic driver in the Host OS, nor in the Guest OS in any way.
    Host OS has latest AMD Radeon drivers, Guest OS - the matching RemoteFX drivers.

    I am not 3D rendering or playing heavy games in the VM, of course. *Smile Windows 10 Hyper-V Running WIndows 10 as a guest OS :)
    I do not use or need Linux here. Windows 10 Host, Windows Guests.

    Windows 10 Hyper-V Running WIndows 10 as a guest OS

    "The newest Windows feature update is here" appears in Hyper-V Guest OS

    I'm running Windows 10 Professional and do all my work in a Hyper-V Guest OS, Windows 7. I get the "The newest Windows feature update is here" pop-up in my guest OS. All I have running is firefox

    I can still click start, run programs, etc. in Windows 10, but the Windows 7 Guest OS is locked until I click "Restart, Pick a time, or Snooze"

    Can anybody shed some light on this?
