How to get Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home

Last Updated >>>

How to get Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home, is Hyper-V available on Windows 10 home? As you probably know the Hyper-V role cannot be installed on Windows 10 home default Operating System (OS) (out of the box).

However, there’s a way of getting the Hyper-V package added to your Windows 10 Home Operating System, if your Windows 10 Home PC meets the hardware requirements for running Hyper-V.

See how I did it under How to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home here.

Is Hyper-V available on Windows 10 Home

Is Hyper-V available on Windows 10 Home? This question often arises when you want to try out a different OS or a different app. It may even be that you want to continue using a particular program that worked very well with a previous operating system (OS).

Whatever your reason might be, the answer is YES, Hyper-V is available on Windows 10 Home when you run scripts that add the Hyper-V feature to Windows 10 home.

Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home – Hardware Requirements

In order to run Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home, your PC needs to have these.

CPU – RAM – Storage Space

  1. 64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
  2. CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension (VT-x on Intel CPU’s).
  3. Minimum of 4 GB memory. As virtual machines share memory with the Hyper-V host, you will need to provide enough memory to handle the expected virtual machine workload.
  4. A minimum of 100 GB available storage for one VM, however more is better.

Enable the following in the system BIOS:

  1. Virtualization Technology – may have a different label depending on motherboard manufacturer.
  2. Hardware Enforced Data Execution Prevention.

Download Hyper V for Windows 10

You cannot download Hyper V for Windows 10 in the normal way. However you can create a batch file that ADDs the Hyper-V package to your Windows 10 Home OS.

This is the script you need to create a batch file you’ll use to add Microsoft Hyper-V to your Windows 10 home OS.

Make a new folder on your C drive.

  • Open C drive
  • Right-Click anywhere and select New > Folder
  • name folder Files (you can name this folder anything you like)
  • Open folder Files
  • Right-Click anywhere in Files folder and Select New > Text Document
  • Double-Click on Text Document to open it
  • you’re ready to type your script as shown below.

(Please note: the line numbers (1 – 6) are used to indicate the start and end of each command line. so, when you type out your commands leave out the numbers eg 1.)

  1. pushd “%~dp0”
  2. dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
  3. for /f %%i in (‘findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul’) do dism /online /norestart /add-package:”%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i”
  4. del hyper-v.txt
  5. Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
  6. pause

After you have typed out your batch file, it should look like what’s shown below.

  1. pushd “%~dp0”
  2. dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
  3. for /f %%i in (‘findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul’) do dism /online /norestart /add-package:”%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i”
  4. del hyper-v.txt
  5. Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
  6. pause

  • Click File
  • Select Save As – to save your file as a .bat file. I saved mine as hyperv10.bat
  • You’re now ready to enable Hyper-V on your Windows 10 Home PC.

How to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home

The steps shown here show you how to enable virtualization in Windows 10 home using command prompt.

Run Cmd as administrator
Run Cmd as administrator
  1. Ensure your Windows 10 Home is connected to the internet.
  2. Type “CMD” or “cmd” in the search field on Task Bar.
  3. Select best match “Command Prompt App”
  4. Choose Run as Administrator.
  5. Change directory to where you created your batch file. In my case I created it in C:\Files folder, so I typed cd\Files.
  6. I called my batch file hyperv10.bat so I type: hyperv10 and press enter to start running the batch file.
running the hyperv10 bat files2
running the hyperv10 bat file
