# Virtualisation & Hyper-V

How to enable Virtualisation and disable Hyper-V.

**How to enable Virtualisation:**

Firstly, check if Virtualisation is enabled, do this by opening task manager.\
\
Task manager -> Performance -> CPU (Use the picture below as a reference)<br>

Click the link below and it will take you to a Youtube search, from there enter in your motherboard brand (MSI, ASUS Etc) \

Alternatively you can also try an AMD or Intel guide depending on your CPU.\

In some cases, "Virtualisation" may be called "SVM Mode"\

**How to disable Hyper-V:**

To determine whether the Hyper-V hypervisor is running, follow these steps:

1. In the search box, type *msinfo32.exe*.
2. Select **System Information**.
3. In the detail window, locate the following entry: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

In order to turn off Hyper-V in Windows, we are going to start by opening a Windows Powershell as Admin. This can be done by typing Powershell into your windows search, and pressing "Run as administrator" beside it.

Now that we have Powershell open, copy and paste the following lines of code separately, then press enter:  \
`bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off`\
`Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All`

Getting an error that says "Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature : Feature name Microsoft-Hyper-V-All is unknown." on the above is completely normal, however, getting a success message is also normal. Once this is done, restart your PC for the changes to take affect.
