I am on a mac using a windows 10 VM, vmware fusion, and I need to enable the Virtual Technology option from the window BIOS setting to properly use a VMware player.
I have tried hitting F10 and F12 while the VM is booting but I have not seen the option I need.
Any help is appreciated.
just ran VMware player on a PC. No issues

I am using Amazon windows 10(2016 server) server for running my application.I need to run VMware in windows but it shows,
VMware Player and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running VMware Player.
I did not install Hyper-V even though VMware is not working, showing above statement.
If Hyper-V is installed you will need to uninstall it for VMWare to run, you can do this by:
Press the Windows key + X
Then go to `Programs and Features`
Click Turn Windows Features on or off
Open Hyper-V
Toggle if off and then click okay.
Note: you may need to restart the virtual machine afterwards.
Objective: To enable intel haxm on Guest OS (win 10 pro), for increasing the speed of Android emulator 10x then default visual studio emulator.
More on intelhaxm here
Issue:
When I check for pre-requisites for enabling haxm, the haxm_check.exe output says "VT support -- no"
Questions:
How to enable "VT support" on Hyper-V machine with Windows 10 Pro on it?
Is there a way to add delay during boot process and press some key to get into BIOS settings of Guest OS (WIndows 10 Pro)?
Here is Host setup:
Host machine: Windows 10 Pro
Virtualization in BIOS: Enabled
Hyper-V windows feature: Turned ON.
Here is Guest VM setup:
VM created with Hyper-V
Guest OS: Windows 10 Pro
Hyper-V windows feature: Turned OFF.
Unfortunately, this setup will not work. Intel HAXM has to run directly on the physical hardware and not as a guest. Moreover, if you have both technologies on the same hardware, Hyper-V and Intel HAXM can not co-exist at the same. See:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration.html#vm-windows
Even with the upcoming nested- virtualization support in Microsoft Windows, HAXM will not work in it's current state because it is based on QEMU (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/qemu/+/emu-master-dev/README) and not Hyper-V. The entire Android Emulator kernel and virtualization stack would have be re-written with Hyper-V in order to work in a nested scenario.
Running Windows 10 Pro in bootcamp on my Mac. When I install Docker for Windows, the system reboots after enabling HyperV and when it comes back, my network adapters are dead. Any solutions for this? I'm not a Windows guy, and not very familiar with how the network drivers work. They all appear to be set up correctly, but the main Windows driver just wont fire up.
For testing, you can use the alternative approach of:
not enabling the Hyper-V feature
add a VirtualBox for Windows on that Windows 10 pro (in Mac bootcamp)
See if you can create containers with the -d virtualbox driver instead of relying on Hyper-V.
I am about to buy a Windows 8 enabled machine and I intend to write a windows mobile app. I don't have access to any windows 8 machine but I am really curious about one feature.
Can I use hyper-v virtual machine of windows 8.1 guest OS to emulate windows phones? I mean complete app development in virtual machine itself. I suspect that virtualization of hardware could be a problem like in windows 7 virtual machine on oracle VirtualBox.
I intend not to install visual studio on host OS, probably its the best way to keep it working for years. Windows OS is touchy.
It is possible, but not with Hyper-V. You have to use VMWare. VMWare supports nested virtualization. You disable Hyper-V in your host OS, install VMWare, enabled nested virtualization in VMWare and than you can install and enable Hyper-V (needed by the emulators) in the guest OS.
I am currently using Windows Server 2008 Standard and have several Hyper V machines. These are development VM's and I want to now switch back Vista x64 because I am missing Aero.
I know Windows Server 2008 can have aero but the host performance is very very bad when I run VM in Hyper V.
I want to export my Hyper V machines so that I can use it in Virtual PC. Anyone know an easy way?
If you have built them as Hyper-V machines, I don't think you can go back. There are serious differences in the HAL for Virtual PC and Hyper-V. You can move a VPC to Hyper-V permanantly by removing the VPC add-ins ans adding the Hyper-V integration drivers/services and re-detecting the hardware.
A VPC can run in Hyper-V just fine, don't add the machine drivers for Hyper-V and you can go back to VPC with no problem.
VPC to Hyper-V is one way.
Hyper-V is designed to be used on the server, obviously. Whereas VirtualPC is designed for the end user. Hyper-V will give you more control, and the ability to create and restore snapshots. However, it does not have a direct console interface to the VM, you would use a browser to access the console. I would go Hyper-V, but it really depends on what you're using your VMs for. Luckily, they share the same format for virtual disks, so you can try it out with your existing VMs.
You should review Windows 2008 R2 SP1 upgrade with RemoteFX, it comes with a new video driver for VM's that allow 3D, extended desktops and more. It will help resolve some of the issues you are seeing today.
Both the Host server and VM need to be running SP1 of Windows 2008 R2.
