How to enable Hyper-V in Windows for installing emulator

When your computer and BIOS settings are already configured to support Hyper-V, the setup program for the SDK enables and starts Hyper-V. If you are already a local administrator on the computer, setup also adds you to the Hyper-V Administrators group. Otherwise you may have to enable these prerequisites manually.
If the Hyper-V options are not available, your computer probably doesn’t support Hyper-V, possibly because it doesn’t support SLAT.

To enable Hyper-V in Windows

1. In Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Turn Windows features on or off.
2. In the Windows Features dialog box, click Hyper-V. The list of options expands.
3. In the expanded list of options, select at least the Hyper-V Platform check box, and then click OK.

For more information about the Windows Features dialog box, see Turn Windows Features On or Off.
