[dba-Tech] Moving and deleting files

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Jim

You are confused ...

Microsoft Hyper-V Server is a stripped down (free) Windows Server with the sole purpose to service the Hyper-V role. Versions are 2008, 2012, 2012 R2, and 2016 Preview. It is a bare metal install requiring nothing but capable hardware. Other than the Hyper-V role, it offers only little, most importantly though, you can enable Windows Backup which features bare-metal recovery.

The Hyper-V role is a selectable feature you can switch on in all current Windows versions except the Home and Mobile versions you list in the other post.

Hi Arthur:

I have installed a Microsoft Hyper-V server before but never as a feature on any Windows desktop machines. That said, according to the attached link, here is the method to install it:

I have not checked whether this can be installed on a HOME edition of Windows 10 or whether this is just a client version? (Why there would be a client version totally escapes me but...)

Jim,

Two questions:
1. From whence can the free Hyper-V be downloaded?
2. Will it work on Windows 10 Home?
