Enable Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home
In Windows 10 there is a new feature called Hyper-V which is basically the same as XP Mode in Windows 7. It allows you to run as many guest operating systems on your Windows 10 host machine. However, Windows XP Mode was based on Windows Virtual PC, the consumer version of their virtualization product.
Now you get the more comprehensive server version. Also, there is no XP mode in Windows 10 with Hyper-V. XP mode was a free copy of Windows XP SP3 that allowed you to run older apps seamlessly with Windows 7. That is no longer available in Windows 10 with Hyper-V.
Until now, Hyper-V has only been available in Windows Server editions. It’s also the exact same version that’s included in Windows Server edition, so you’re getting a server virtualization product for free in Windows 10. It’s perfect for IT folks, especially helpdesk technicians who work from their laptops.
