  • This entirely depends if your hardware supports the required x86 extensions and hardware virtualization required to do so.

What you're looking to do is to run a "nested VM". I suggest you use this term often when Googling for a solution. Nested VMs are usually not particularly straight-forward, and a highly-dependent on several things specific to your configuration - physical hardware, virtual hardware, OS, virtualization softwares, etc. You might imagine that running a 64-bit VM on a 32-bit hardware platform can cause problems that are "challenging" to overcome.

Here's VMWare's thoughts on nesting VMs.

Depending on what kind of VM you're running, and what kind of Hyper-v you want to run, you should look for configuration-specific instructions.
