HYPER V
Hyper-V is a powerful tool that lets you create and manage virtual machines on your Windows computer. With Hyper-V, you can run multiple operating systems simultaneously, making it easier to test software, develop applications, or even set up separate environments for different tasks. It works by creating a virtualized environment where these operating systems can run independently, offering flexibility and efficiency in managing various computing needs on a single device.
VMware and Hyper-V are two of the most popular hypervisors used by organizations. Hyper-V, introduced by Microsoft in Windows 8 Professional and Windows Server 2008, continues to be available in the latest versions of Windows, including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022. The good news is that enabling Hyper-V hasn’t undergone any major changes. You can still enable it using either the graphical user interface (GUI) or PowerShell.
