Running a virtual machine on a Win10 virtual machine?

  

Computer Store News: Microsoft's latest Windows 10 version ——10565 brings a lot of improvements to the Edge browser, Cortana voice assistant and user interface. According to the NeoWin website, in addition to these features, another particularly attractive feature that Microsoft began testing was nested virtualization.

NeoWin says nested virtualization allows users to run a Windows 10 virtual machine on a Windows 10 machine running another version of Windows 10. Essentially, this feature virtualizes the hardware features required to run a virtual hypervisor on a virtual machine.

Hyper-V relies on hardware virtualization support (such as Intel VT-x and AMD-V) to run virtual machines. Normally, once Hyper-V is installed, the hypervisor will not allow the guest virtual machine to install Hyper-V.

NeoWin claims that nested virtualization enables the guest virtual machine to have hardware virtual support features, enabling users to install Hyper-V on the guest virtual machine and create more virtual machines on the underlying virtual machine. This article was provided by Microsoft and demonstrates nested virtualization technology. The picture shows that there are a total of 3 different computers on a single computer.

For enterprise users and users who want to keep their computers away from malicious websites and malware, virtual nesting provides a powerful solution to eliminate these concerns. NeoWin pointed out that at present, Microsoft's nested virtualization technology only supports Hyper-V. Microsoft reminds users that nested virtualization technology may have many flaws as it is still in the early stages of the development cycle.
