I have problem. I create web application for windows phone and i need
to test this app. How i can test when my PC does not support
Hyper-V ? Thanks for answer :)
In case if your PC does not support Hyper-V, try installing it within a Virtual Machine. References:
Run windows phone emulator 8 or 8.1 without using Hyper-v
Windows phone emulator doesn't run without Hyper V on Win 8.1....any alternative emulator?

I don't know is it possible or not to use a windows store app on to to work on windows 7 machine ?
There is a game app that needs to be transferred in to windows 7 from a windows 8.1 machine
There's no way to install Windows Runtime on Windows 7.
Windows Runtime is available only starting from Windows 8.
I connect to a Windows 8.1 Pro VM through Hyper-V running on Windows Server 2008.
It looks like in order to run the Windows 8.1 phone emulator, you need to be running Windows 8.1 Pro that is capable on running Hyper-V.
Since I am already connecting to Windows through a VM, will I not be able to enable the necessary Hyper-V features to be able to start the Windows phone emulator?
An often found solution is to run the VM inside VMWare. This allows you to enable Hyper-V inside the virtual machine. Here's a detailed step-by-step guide.
As an alternative, it appears to be possible to enable Hyper-V inside the VM using the powershell command Add-WindowsFeature -name RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools, as found on this blog.
Both of these scenario's are unsupported, but appear to work fine.
Lately i wanted to get into Windows Phone 8 development and i installed Visual Studio 2013 + Windows Phone SDK 8 + Visual Studio 2013 Latest update.
My system parameters are:
- 8gb ram
- Windows 8.1 64bit system
- Intel i5
The moment i try to run a Windows Phone project a dialog appears and it says:
Title - " Cant start the windows phone emulator"
Subtitle - "The Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V.Your PC is missing the following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V:
-Windows 8 Professional(64 bit)"
After i saw that i checked for how to upgrade Normal Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Professional.
With no luck i tried to find out more about to install Hyper-V with the BIOS configuration with no luck as well.
Usually i develop on Android with Eclipse(with the Emulator) so i can't understand the reason why a emulator of Windows Phone can't run on my system.
P.S
I dont have Hyper-V feature in the Windows Feature list to Turn off/on
Thanks heads up for each answer! :)
The error is saying you need Windows 8.1 x64 Pro or Enterprise to be able to install Hyper-V. You can still develop phone apps in the edition of Windows 8.1 you have but you must debug on on a windows phone the emulator will not be available
System Control -> Programms and Functions -> "Activate or deactivate Windows Features" (in the left bar)
(freely translated from my german win8.1)
There you can activate Hyper-V if it is inside your Windows-version. Then try to restart VS2013 and start the emulator. I had to "deactivate" my Hyper-V and activate it again for some reason. Then it worked.
Good Luck! :)
The Windows Phone 8 emulator is a special Hyper-V image. It cannot run on other virtualization technology.
Without the emulator, the alternative option would be to use an actual device.
you can use a virtual machine to deploy windows phone 8 OS. Your System processor does not support hyper-v so, you can install win phone 8 on a virtual machine. you would found this link helpful.. check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANk_XaovqM
Step which i followed; ( I already have windows 8.1 64-bit machine )
Enabled 'Virtualization / Hardware assisted virtualization' in bios. [ https://www.google.co.in/search?q=enable+virtualization+in+bios&oq=enable+virtual&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5117j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 ].
Hyper-V option came in 'windows features' after I did this step.
Later, I Became a member of Hyper-V admin group.
I've installed Windows phone 8 SDK successfully and I have run the applications successfully on the emulators. Everything was fine.
Now I have updated my Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone Version 2 to Version 4.
And I have downloaded and installed the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 Update 3 Emulators. Now I run the application in Emulator WVGA 512MB and the application running successfully.
Now when I try to run the application in Emulator Update 3 1080P, then I am getting the below error.
Please help me how to solve the above issue.
Thanks
WP 8 Emulator works on a virtual machine, so you should check virtual machine settings on Hyper-V. It seems that Emulator needs more memory and your computer has not enough.
I am looking for a Windows 6 CE emulator, which I can use on my X86 32bit Win 7 Laptop. I just want to run a particular Win CE 7 software I have got on this Laptop.
I found a few emulators, but all fail. Some are not Win 7 compatible, others just do not start. Who can tell me an Win 7 emulator working on Win 7?
I made a windows xp VM and ran the emulator on that. Bit laggy, but it works.
I am using the version 3.0 of the Device Emulator allowing me to run the emulator independently from VS2005.
Also this question contains some more details, for me the VirtualPC image described there did not work with Win7.
