HyperV for Student VMs

[bwestlake]

Has anyone on windows 10 used HyperV for student VMs

 

Windows 10 Pro / Education allow you to enable HyperV and we were wondering if this would be better than using virtual box as it is a native feature,

Are there any GPOs to restrict creating new VMs etc?

 

Thanks in advance

We set this up for a customer, works well.

 

We hit a bug - https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/virtual_pc_guy/2014/06/11/allowing-non-administrators-to-control-hyper-vupdated/ even though our Windows 10 wasn't an upgrade we hit this!

I'd seriously consider using Virtual Box, there are few threads on here that go into detail.

Agreed - Virtual Box works well and I've just got it setup nicely with Windows 10 using the latest release. I did look at running Hyper-V on the desktops but I did notice a significant slow down on the client PC as a whole with the service running.

Or centralise things with scvmm. I set up a proof of concept at my last school which worked well but current IT weren't onboard
