Enabling HYPER-V virtualization :

1. Open up Task Manager->Performance Tab. You should see Virtualization as shown in the below screenshot. If it is enabled, it means that your CPU supports Virtualization and is currently enabled in BIOS. If it shows disabled, you need to enable it in BIOS. If you don’t see virtualization, it means that your CPU does not support virtualization.
2. To enter the BIOS of your system (MSI in my case), restart your system and then press the Delete key after the computer powers on but before it begins to boot. Now you have entered BIOS setup Utility, enable the virtualization technology using up or down arrow keys in the System Configuration Tab. After that save and exit.

Setting up Hyper-V:-

Go to Start menu->Settings->Apps->Apps and features. At the bottom, you will see the program and Features. Click on it. In the Program and Feature windows, you will see Turn Windows Feature On or off. Click on it. Check Hyper-V, Virtual machine platform, Windows Hypervisor Platform and then click OK.
However, if you are using Windows 10 Home Edition, then you will not have the Hyper-V option in the Turns Windows feature on or off. So to Activate Hyper-v Feature on Windows 10 Home… Create a new file name Hyper-V Enabler.bat and paste the below code in that.

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 pause

Now Right-click on that and select Run as Administrator. It will open a Command prompt to run the code saved in it. Wait for the process to complete. In the end, you will be asked to restart your computer. Please go ahead and restart your computer for the rest of the process to complete.
