As known, Hyper-V is only available for use in Enterprise, Pro, and Education versions, not in the Home version. I wanted to use Hyper-V in the Home version. Today, I did some research and couldn't find any Turkish content. Even the foreign content I found was insufficient. However, I saw that a person had managed to do this on a German website.

Before starting the process, make sure to back up your data just in case. First, create a new text document and copy and paste the code below:

Code: Copy to Clipboard

pushd "%~dp0"

dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt

for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"

del hyper-v.txt

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All /LimitAccess /ALL

Then, go to File > Save As in the top left corner, change the file name to "Hyper-V.cmd," select All Files from the bottom, and save it.

Right-click on the "Hyper-V.cmd" file and run it as an administrator. A file named "Hyper-V.txt" will be created on your desktop, do not delete it. A CMD window will appear downloading and installing necessary files to the C:/Windows/servicing/Packages folder.

There are multiple files, so this process may take up to half an hour. At the end of the installation, the CMD window will ask for permission to restart the computer (Y/N). Simply press "Y," and the system will update and restart. After the system restarts, check if Hyper-V has been successfully installed.

Navigate to:

Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off

That's it! As my first operating system, I installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. It's running smoothly and stable. Initially, I tried to install Ubuntu as UEFI, but it didn't work, so I didn't want to hassle with it.
