Hello,
Hyper-V related questions should be posted in the Hyper-V forums here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread
Hyper-V can be installed on Windows 8 Pro, does not matter if Windows 8 Pro is OEM. Windows 8 does not have the ability to install Hyper-V.

Installing Hyper-V on Windows 7

Hi!
I installed Hyper-V on Windows 7, but when I try to connect to local host, the follow message appears:
"Hyper-V has not been installed on computer localhost""
Someone can help me?

Hello,
There is a solution, you 'll still be able to run a virtual machine on Windows 7. You've got to first create a Virtual Hard disk (vhd) then install Windows Server 2008R2 on it by WIM2VHD. Create a boot entry by bcdedit. Then you have your new environment
where you can install hyper-V!
Bye, Sébastien
Please explain how you can run Hyper-V in Windows 7 if you install Server 2008 R2 in a VHD. The Server 2008 R@ VHD is a separate environment on the HDD. When you boot the Server 2008 R2 VHD you are not running Windows 7.
Read the information found @
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/129475-boot-windows-7-from-vhd-an-amazing-concept/ about booting from VHD. Your method of creating the Server 2008 R2 VHD will not work. Server 2008 R@ must be installed to its own separate VHD the same as with
the Windows 7 VHD.

How to install hyper-v on windows 8 ?

How to install hyper-v on windows 8 ?
I want to install virtual PC but after some research I came to know that windows 8 no longer support virtual pc and it has been replaced by something called hyper-v.
I just bought a Windows 8 laptop.
I tried looking into windows on / off features (in control panel) and there is NO hyper-V.
I know why I don't have hyper-V because after doing some research it seems like it is only available on windows 8 PRO.
Here is comparison chart:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions#Comparison_chart
I have Widows 8 on my laptop (NOT Windows PRO).
Now in this situation, how to install hyper-v on my laptop ?
Also, will I be able to run windows 7 virtually on my windows 8 laptop using hyper-v just like virtual pc ? like switching in windows between OS ? If I cannot do this and hyper-v does not work like virtual PC then I don;t think hyper-v will be useful to
me at all and i don't wanna figure it out if it is not useful in any way ?

Hi jeffcarter,
To enable the Windows 8 Client Hyper-V feature, our computer needs to meet the following requirements:
1. Hardware supports Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
2. 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise.
3. 4 GB or above of RAM.
Therefore, it seems that your computer cannot install Hyper-V. Also, Windows Virtual PC cannot be run on Windows 8. Thanks for your understanding.
In addition, regarding how to configure your BIOS to enable Intel VT-X, you can refer to your motherboard’s operating manual or query the vendor support for help.

Hope this helps.

Is possible to install Hyper-V on windows 7 Enterprise ?

Is possible to install Hyper-V on windows 7 Enterprise ? if yes 64bit or 32bit?

Hi Velavan,
Hyper-V is only available on Windows Server, Windows 8 and above or as a standalone Hyper-V server. However the client version on windows 8 and above will not allow clustering and so
on and is great for development or training environments but not production.
If you are just looking to manage remote Hyper-V hosts on a windows 7 client you can download the RSAT tools and install Hyper-V manager and Failover Cluster Manager which will allow you to manage
your remote hosts or clusters.

After installing Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 Pro, my computer won't boot

I have a somewhat new (June 2013) HP laptop originally running Windows 8 Pro. I installed the Hyper-V component right away and it was running great. After testing Windows 8.1 Pro on another computer a couple months ago, I decided to upgrade my HP laptop and
Hyper-V continued to work great after the upgrade.
Yesterday, after a Windows Update failed, I was not able to boot my laptop. It would hang with the HP Logo and spinning circle at the point when the Boot Manager normally starts up Windows. Trying to do a recovery reported a failure, but no specific reason
except to say boot failed and that a Restart might correct the error, but it would just hang on the HP Logo every time I would try to boot. I reinstalled the Windows 8.1 Pro OS and the laptop was working fine until I would install Hyper-V.
I have gone thru this sequence 3 times. The first time, I pulled the latest Windows Updates, then installed Hyper-V, IIS and some other components and after this install required a Restart, my laptop hung at the HP Logo. The second time, I did not enable
any Windows Updates, but installed Hyper-V and IIS and again, after the Restart my laptop hung. So, the final time, I only installed Hyper-V and after the Restart, my laptop hung once again.
Since Hyper-V used to work, it would not seem to make sense that I have a hardware compatibility problem. I have also run the extensive built in firmware Disk tests and other diagnostics taking several hours to complete and these all passed.
I am now using my laptop without Hyper-V and it is working fine, but I hoping to find a reason/solution for the problem caused by installing Hyper-V so that I can once again install and use it.

Hi,
Generally speaking, when you add feature like Hyper-V, system would take a long time to get this feature configured. if your computer still stay updates configuration steps, you can use Windows 8.1 installation image to repair system. In system repair mode,
you can access into Command Prompt mode, and check CBS.log which located at C:\Windows\logs\CBS. This log file would record Windows installation process, we may find the problem of Hyper-V stallation.

Is there any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC (Windows 7) that when synced to my Iphone that will accept my custom Lables for type of entry, such as you have- Home, Work, then "Private Line" ?

I am wondering if in fact there is any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC running Windows7 that when synced with my 4s that it will retain all my custom lables for phone numbers in Contacts on my iPhone, such as Sandra's Private Line, Cadillac, Bat Phone or what ever?

Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 at the moment, but if you have OS X Mountain Lion, Apple should release an update soon with Windows 8 support.
If you want to use Windows 8 now, you can install Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox and install Windows 8 on a virtual machine. Another option is to install Windows 7 on Boot Camp if you want.
If you need help installing Windows, follow the steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

Can't install Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 Pro

I have a Dell XPS L702x laptop with 2 hard drives, one of them has a MBR partition and has Hyper-V running without problems, but in the second drive, which is a SSD disk and has a GPT partition, I can't install it. It seems to install, gets to about 95%
and then I get a message: "Failure configuring windows features, reverting changes" and then it reboots and reverts the installation attempt.
I have tried the following commands:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Sfc /scannow
But no errors were found, and I also run coreinfo with this results:

Can you clarify what you're trying to do as it's unclear to me? You've got a laptop with two drives, and you've already got Hyper-V installed on the laptop, and you're now trying to install it on the other drive?
If that's the case then I'm unsure why you think you need to.
You only have Hyper-V installed once on a machine, and it's ALWAYS installed on the boot partition of the machine because that's how it works. Effectively once installed the Hypervisor sits on the boot partition, and the local copy of Windows becomes a management
VM running on top of the hypervisor (that's why the VM's you create get as good performance as the host OS does, as they sit alongside each other rather than on top of one another).
If you're trying to use the second drive (the SSD) for Hyper-V then you simply need to create a new VM from within Hyper-V that you have installed already, and during the installation you're able to choose where to put the VM files, at which point you can
set it to use the SSD for those files.
I've got the same setup on my home machine, though in reverse, eg my boot partition is an SSD, and I've got a large HDD that hosts my VMs.

Problems installing Hyper-V on Windows 8.1

I was trying to set up a Mobile Development Environment in my system with Windows 8.1. I did not that know it was not a PRO version and I never wanted that PRO version until this point.
Windows emulator requires Hyper-V as a pre-requisite and Hyper-V cannot be installed in Windows 8.1 (it requires Windows 8.1 pro or higher)
Now, the only option that I see is, format the PC and fresh install Windows 8.1 Pro or higher but this is not a viable option to me because this is a working machine and it will waste my a day or two in configuring the environment.
Isn't there a standalone installer for Hyper-V where I should not format/reinstall my OS ?
Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kushal.

Quite honestly, upgrading to Pro is the way to have Client Hyper-V on your workstation.
Because the Phone Emulator MUST be installed on the same workstation as Visual Studio - it cannot be remote in any way. It must be local. That is a requirement of the phone emulator.
And, in reality, this problem is not a Hyper-V issue, it is an issue of a dependency of the emulator, which in turn hits a requirement for Pro, which was a licensing / marketing decision.
The emulator requirements:

Installing CS2 so I can install cs4 upgrade on windows 7

I just got a new pc has windows 7 pro OS and need to install my adobe CS. I have CS2 with a CS4 upgrade. As you can probably guess i am having trouble getting the cs to install. I would like to upgrade to cs 5.5 but if I cant get the cs 2 on to upgrade to cs 4 I doubt i can get a cs5.5 upgrade installed! I have tried installing cs2 a couple times and keep getting the serial number screen. When I uninstalled it I had to deactivate it so it would seem that it was acttive just unusable. I will try running the cs4 uopgrade in thje AM but was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a waste of my time or is there actually a way to get this installed and working properly. any help is greatly appreciated.
Keith

I bought it from Adobe. Full upgrade price. It was about 3 years ago -
about. I wanted a backup in case Freehand tanked. Kept using FHmx and
forgot I even had CS4. So FHmx tanked Friday and I can't get it to show
the toolbars. So, I'll install CS4 and work all weekend on this rush
job. I'm on a Mac. OsX.6.8. Also on Aleve until I get this solved!

Install sharepoint 2010 on windows 8.1 enterprise

I would like to install sharepoint server 2010 on windows 8.1 enterprise without Hyper-V as the organization policy does not allow us to user Hyper-V. At the end of the installation while sharepoint configuration wizard is running, it thre a "Configuration
Failed" exception. Failed to create configuration database as shown below. Kindly help.

The instructions for installing SharePoint 2010 on Windows 8 are pretty much the same as they were on Windows 7 x64. You do still need to make sure you create the custom config file to do the install. You can find a full set of instructions
to install on Windows 7 on my blog here:
http://www.dontpapanic.com/blog/?p=96
The one additional thing you need to do is make sure that when you install IIS you are using ASP.net 2.0 instead of ASP.Net 4.0. Windows 8 will default to 4.0. You can read more about that here:
http://johnlivingstontech.blogspot.com/2011/09/installing-sharepoint-2010-on-windows-8.html
I should however point out that although you can install SharePoint 2010 on Windows 8 its not really a supported platform and even on Windows 7 its only supported as a Dev environment. Its never been supported for any kind of production usage.

Hyper-V on Windows Server Core

Hi, Im new to the Windows Server 2012 Core edition. But I have found out that I can install Hyper-v on a Windows Server Core edition.
I guess its possible to run Core edition with Hyper-V installed on a laptop. But can I run the VM´s with GUI directly on the Core edition or do I need another computer to manage the VM´s with GUI installed on the hyper-v host?

It's recommended to remove the GUI from your Windows 2012 R2 server that you intend to use as a Hyper-V host. It should have the Hyper-V and related roles only such as iSCSI initiator and MPIO. Management should be done from a Windows 8.1 VM with RSAT
tools installed. This can be a VM on the same Hyper-V host or another one, or a physical machine. The Hyper-V hosts and Windows 8.1 machine should belong to the same Windows domain.
The GUI can be added and removed as any other role on Windows 2012 R2 server.
See this post for more details.
