SOLVED: Windows 11 Hyper-V Not Showing

Strangely Windows 11 will let users install HyperV components even if their machine will not HyperV. I just went through this and it took me 20 minutes to figure out that I was running an unsupported version of Windows 11.

If you have installed Hyper-V and rebooted but Hyper-V Manager does not appear in your START menu you likely have one of two issues:

1. You are running Windows HOME
   • HyperV will only operate on Windows Pro, Education, Workstation or Enterprise
2. Your BIOS / UEFI has INTEL VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY set to disabled

We also explain the minimum requirements to run Windows 11 and how to get around errors like:

This PC Can’t Run Windows 11

Does Not Meet Minimum Requirements.
