Windows 2008 R2 w/ HyperV Role

[ddasilva99]

Hello,

I would like to do some testing of Windows 2008 R2 w/ HyperV role in the latest version of VMware Workstation.  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 VMware Workstation?

Thanks,

D

Sorry, you can't. VT is not passed to the virtual machine and Hyper-V requires this to run.

Andre is correct, furthermore, it is better to know that u cannot have Hyper-V and VMware Workstation or VMware Server at the same time on one host.

If it is useful, would u please mark it as "Helpful" or "Correct"?

Thank u

Thats not correct - you can have both on one system - but you have to reboot to switch between them

no current Workstation or VMserver version supports this
