INSTALLING HYPER-V MANAGER ON WINDOWS 7...

 

Download and install the RSAT tools for Windows 7 from here: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7D2F6AD7-656B-4313-A005-4E344E43997D&displaylang=en. Install either the 32-bit or 64-bit depending on what version of Windows 7 you’re using.

Next, go to Start - Control Panel and click on Programs.

Next, you’ll see an option to Turn Window features on or off. Click on this option.

Under Remote Server Administration Tools - Role Administration Tools, find the option for Hyper-V Tools, check the checkbox and click OK. You can now type Hyper-V Manager at the Start Menu

You can now type Hyper-V Manager at the Start menu or go to Start - Administrative Tools -Hyper-V Manager.

  Its not that straghtforward, I ran into multiple issues --

1. hyper-v-error-access-denied
2. Hyper V Services was in disabled condition
3. There were BIOS issues which I had to fix.
4. There were firmware issues All the above issues came when all the supported hardware was intact and it took me almost 2 days to figure out the workarounds/fix the issue. BTW, thanks for the article.

  --> Jens,  Correct you cannot run Hyper-V host on Windows 7, it is a Server 2008 capabilitiy, but you can create a core install of Hyper-V on a separate machine without have to pay for the license for full Windows 2008.  It's faster and uses less resources too so allows more resources for the Hyper-V guests.  (www.microsoft.com/.../faq.aspx)

  I mean to say that When i create Hyper V on Server 2008 then we can create virtual machines on that server, so is it possible in Win7 that, it create virtual machines too.

  Sometimes you have to enable virtualization support in BIOS if you want to be able to create virtual machines. After that is done you have to add feature "Hyper-V Platform". Now you should be able to create and manage virtual machines in Hyper-V

  If you don't have "Remote Server Administration Tools" located in your Windows Features menu, you will need to install this package from Microsoft:https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=7887. Its called Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1.
