Hyper-V on W8

Post by skinner_2012 »

Hi,
I have w8 x64 enterprise evaluation in VB 4.2.2. on my w7 x64 prof host installed. Works fine, but to activate hyper-v platform in windows features is greyed out. VT-x and Nested Paging are active.
coreinfo -v say's:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz
Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7, GenuineIntel
HYPERVISOR - Hypervisor is present
VMX - Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization
EPT - Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)

Anyone the same problem ?
Thanks

Everyone will see the same issue. VirtualBox does not support nested virtualization and only one thing at a time can have access to VMX.
