Here’s how to create a virtual machine in Windows 10 without installing third-party software.
Hyper-V is not available on this platform.
While Hyper-V is a useful tool, it may not be the ideal solution for software development.
Even more, simply enabling Hyper-V may cause performance issues for latency-sensitive, high-precision applications.
Not just any computer can run a virtual machine, however.
Youll need to see if your PCs processor can handle a virtual machine before moving forward.
