I'm running windows 8 64 bit, 4gb ram, on an i5 3230. According to the specs, my hardware meets the requirements to enable it, but It's not listed on enable windows features. I downloaded coreinfo tool that confirms my hardware is compatible: I'm trying to write a windows phone 8 app and I wasn't able to run the emulator due to hyper-v not being installed. Anyone have any info?

  • You need Windows 8 Pro. – SLaks Nov 04 '13 at 03:11
  • Ah that makes sense. I guess I could partition Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 on my machine and should be able to install visual studio 2012. Thanks for the insight. No thanks to microsoft for making this a pain in the ass! – Bob Nov 04 '13 at 11:07

What version of Windows 8 do you have? You need Windows 8 Pro 64bits or greater to be able to enable HyperV.

Thank you!

May be you need to enable CPU virtualization from the BIOS
