3You don't need or want Hyper-V and neither does the error message name it. You need to enable hardware-assisted virtualization in your BIOS/UEFI setup. Provide the exact make and model of your mainboard and we can guide you.– Daniel BCommented Mar 5, 2023 at 12:24

1Windows 7 is long out of support and you need something stronger than Home to get into Virtual Machines. [I checked bios menu I couldn't see any options regarding virtualization] .... It appears not to have hardware virtualization. Perhaps time to replace the computer.– anonCommented Mar 5, 2023 at 12:49

1Hardware Virtualization is a hardware feature, not a software application.– anonCommented Mar 5, 2023 at 13:15

1Hyper-V wasn’t a feature on most editions of Windows 7. If the option to enable hardware virtualization isn’t present i the firmware then your hardware doesn’t support it.– RamhoundCommented Mar 5, 2023 at 16:32

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
