If you create a virtual machine in VirtualBox, you will see that the Hyper-V Paravirtualization acceleration is displayed, because Hyper-V is installed on the host PC.īut, the 'VT-x/AMD-V' acceleration is not displayed, because Hyper-V reserve it and it's no longer accessible by VirtualBox.Īs a result, the virtual machine will not boot, because the native Hyper-V API is not present in your version of Windows 10 and the Intel virtualization technology (VT-x) is not available for VirtualBox.

However, since this feature is not available before version 1803 of Windows 10, VirtualBox can no longer work next to Hyper-V. Info : enabling the Hyper-V feature masks the availability of Intel VT-x for other virtualization software.īut, enabling the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature can fix this problem. Indeed, the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' is only available from version 1803 and this one allows VirtualBox to be based on the native Hyper- V to work next to it. Info : versions 1079 and earlier of Windows 10 are not supportedĪs mentioned at the beginning of this tutorial, you will need Windows 10 v1803 for this to work.

Indeed, you will still benefit VirtualBox virtual hardware and therefore VirtualBox features.ģ.

Once the guest OS is installed, install the guest additions as usual by going to : Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD image.Īs you can see, the guest additions have been installed correctly even though the virtual machine is virtualized via Hyper-V. In addition, you will see a green bird icon (with a V) at the bottom right indicating that VirtualBox is using Hyper-V paravirtualization instead of its own virtualization technology. This time, you can start your virtual machine without any problem. Once you have enabled the 'Hyper-V' and 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' features in Windows 10, VirtualBox will use accelerations : VT-x/AMD-V, Nested Paging, Hyper-V Paravirtualization. Plain Text WHvCapabilit圜odeHypervisorPresent is FALSE! Make sure you have enabled the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature. If you attempt to start the virtual machine, VirtualBox will tell you that the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature must be enabled in Windows 10 and that Intel virtualization technology (VT-x) is not available.

If Hyper-V is enabled in Windows 10 features, but the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature is disabled, VirtualBox will only use Hyper-V Paravirtualization. Use Hyper-V paravirtualization with VirtualBox 6

Important : this will not work on Windows 8 either, because this 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature is not present.Ģ. However, the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature is only available from Windows 10 v1803.Īnd from the version 1809 of Windows 10, the virtual machine will try to start and will freeze on a black screen. Indeed, for this to work, the 'Hyper-V' AND 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' features need to be enabled on Windows 10.

Info : versions 1079 and earlier of Windows 10 are not supportedįor this to work, you must use a version of Windows 10 that is supported by VirtualBox 6.Īccording to our tests, only Windows 10 v1803 圆4 is supported by versions 6.0 and 6.0.14 of VirtualBox (even if the virtual machines will be slower).

Use Hyper-V paravirtualization with VirtualBox 6.

Note that you can also use a multi-boot to boot or not with Hyper-V (if you want) so you don't have to uninstall and reinstall Hyper-V every time. This solution is therefore only useful if you want to be able to use virtual machines simultaneously with Hyper-V and VirtualBox. Since version 6.0, VirtualBox is able to use the Hyper-V API to coexist next to Hyper-V.īut, performance will be worse and it does not work with all versions of Windows 10.
