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

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

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 upper left corner and 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 appear on your desktop, do not delete it. A CMD window will pop up installing the necessary files to the C:/Windows/servicing/Packages folder.

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

Go to:

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

That's all.

As the primary operating system, I installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. It runs smoothly and stable. Initially, I tried to install Ubuntu as UEFI but it didn't work; I actually didn't want to deal with it.
