Windows 2008 R2 w/ HyperV Role

Post by ddasilva99 »

Hello,

I would like to do some testing of Windows 2008 R2 w/ HyperV role in the latest version of VirtualBox. When I attempt to add the HyperV role I encounter the following error message:

Hyper-V cannot be installed
The processor on this computer is not compatible with Hyper-V. To install this role, the processor must have a supported version of hardware-assisted virtualization, and that feature must be turned on in the BIOS

How do I run Windows 2008 R2 w/ HyperV role in the latest version of VirtualBox?

Thanks,
D

You cannot run Hyper-V in a virtual machine. The server must be running on physical hardware.
