Is it possible to nest VirtualBox in Hyper V

Post by stsong »

We have a old VirtualBox VM that we would like to use.
We've beginning to convert over to Hyper V, wondering if it is possible to nest VirtualBox VM inside of Hyper V?
I've tried converting the vmdk file to Hyper V but it would not boot.
I tried to use Bridge Adapter but VirtualBox will not get an IP.

Is putting VirtualBox on a physical machine my only option?

Thanks in advance.

Nested VMs are not currently supported. This doesn't mean that it won't work, only that we don't say that it will work, and usually won't care if it doesn't.
