3. CLIENT HYPER-V<br />

Not many business professionals will probably care about<br />

virtualization, the ability to wall off a portion of your hard drive into a<br />

virtual <strong>PC</strong>, complete with its own operating system. But for<br />

enthusiasts—especially those who wish to continue testing Insider<br />

builds without risking their main system—Hyper-V is just the thing.<br />

Virtualization creates a secure operating environment within your<br />

<strong>PC</strong> that allows you to run different operating systems, including Linux,<br />

future builds of Windows 10, and even older versions of Windows. (Just<br />

make sure you still have valid license keys for the operating system and<br />

a <strong>PC</strong> processor that supports virtualization—not all older models do.<br />

Once you have Windows 10 Professional, you’ll still have to install<br />

Hyper-V manually. You can begin typing Hyper-V in the Search box.<br />

Windows will suggest that you install some optional features. You’ll be<br />

given a list of options, where you can install Hyper-V. Our sister site<br />

Infoworld offers a great introduction to Hyper-V (go.pcworld.com/<br />

sched) immediately,<br />

allowing you to defer<br />

installation for a few hours,<br />

but no longer. For some,<br />

that might not be the most<br />

desirable option. Windows<br />

10 Professional offers an<br />

option.<br />

This bug cropped up in some installations using the Windows<br />

10 Media Creation Tool.<br />
