Windows Hypervisor Platform Feature on 2016

I'm trying to run an Android emulator using WHPX on a Azure Windows Server 2016 VM version 1607. I enabled hyper V but still requires the Hypervisor Platform. I tried running the cmdlet "Enable-WindowsOptionalFeautre -Online -FeatureName HypervisorPlatform" but that cmd is unknown. Is there a possible workaround to this?

Hi @PatrickZapata-4173,

To run Hyper-V within a virtual machine (which is called Nested Virtualization) you will need specific Azure virtual machine sizes to achieve this:

Azure compute unit (ACU)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/acu

For more information on how to run Hyper-V in a virtual machine with nested virtualization, see:

Run Hyper-V in a Virtual Machine with Nested Virtualization
