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to install virtual PC but after some research I came to know that windows 8 no longer support virtual pc and it has been replaced by something called hyper-v.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.

    one of hyper-v component is not running
    thanks

    Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
    However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
    The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.

  • 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?
    Regards

    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.

    Hi Friends
    How to install SOA 10g on Windows 7 64-bit platform ?
    I've downloaded the 64-bit version downloadable from OTN and able to run the irca.bat on DB 10.2.0.3 however the SOA Installer fails at BPEL Config Assistant step with errors :

    Hi,
    We know now why SOA Installer fails...
    Now we need to know why you can not start OC4J properly. What do you see in the log files?

  • How to Install or Run on Windows Xp/7

    Hi, I just see the bin/kvctl for Linux.
    How to Install o Run on Windows ?

    The actual command to invoke kvlite is pretty simple. From the bottom of the kvlite script:
    java $LOGGING -cp $LIBDIR/kvstore-1.1.100.jar oracle.kv.util.kvlite.KVLite -root $KVROOT -store $KVSTORE -host $HOSTNAME -port $REGPORT $ADMINPORT
    Here is a .cmd file that you can use (it's not supported). Some of our developers run on Windows but it is not a supported platform since we don't run our qualification tests on it. It's Java code, so in theory, "it should just work".

    I too would like to know how to install Oracle 8i on Windows 7. Most of you responding seem to think that this is a "stupid" idea. I am trying to connect to a VAX 6630 running Oracle 7. My client is a billion $ top 10 Fortune 500 multi-national company that has been in business longer than Microsoft AND Oracle put together. The VAX 6630 has been running over 20 years and the disks have been spinning just as long. This is a lot better than Microsoft can do considering they can't even put together an operating system that works for more than a couple of years. Welcome to the REAL world, pal.
    I am currently connecting to the VAX with Oracle 8i installed on Windows XP. Works great! So, putting aside all the snickering, can you answer the question or not? No time to laugh here. We have REAL world problems to solve.The VAX was a great machine with a great OS. I'm not surprised it is still humming along. Perhaps, from a pure business standpoint, this reliability is what led to the demise of DEC ... once you buy their equipment, there's little reason to spend more money with them. But all hardware fails eventually. Where do you get hardware support for this setup?
    What do you do with your real world, Fortune 500 problem when you have to ask for help from Oracle? What is their response?

    Hello,
    Hyper-V related questions should be posted in the Hyper-V forums here:

    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.

  • 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.
    Kind Regards

    Hi Atul Srivastava,
    For this issue,Denis Cooper is right.
    The following prerequisites are required to successfully run Client Hyper-V on Windows 8.1:
    Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise 64 bit Operating System
    64 bit processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
    4GB system RAM at minimum
    BIOS-level Hardware Virtualization support

  • How to Install Oracle 10g in Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system

    Hi,
    I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system. While i was installing oracle 10g i got error and not able to install. How to install the Oracle 10g databse on this operating system. Is there any patch to install this or i have to use other version of oracle with window 7 operating system?
    Thanks in advance
    Mayank Adhikari

    The argument would be who wants to install Oracle database on Windows 7. I think most probably by the developers who wants to "Try" something prior deal with a production database, right?
    For a developer, installing database using the hack is more than NOT having a local database running from the local system. I installed all the products mentioned with windows7bugs post and used the following tools to successfully connect and retrive data from the database instances.
    Toad 9.7.x.x
    SQL Developer
    SQL/Plus
    Developer 6i (Another hack, please check this link http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/installing-oracle-developer-forms-reports-6i-on-windows-7-64bit/).
    I think the discussion about whether all the features of client/server are still available with such a hacked installation is meaningless as far the information requested was strictly for Windows 7, not for a Server OS.
    regards,

  • 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.
