If one or more requirements are evaluated as "No" then the computer does not support installing Hyper-V. However, if only the virtualization setting is incompatible, you might be able to enable virtualization in the BIOS and change the **Virtualization Enabled In Firmware** setting from "No" to "Yes." The location of this setting will depend on the manufacturer and BIOS version, but is typically found associated with the BIOS security settings. @@ -710,10 +695,10 @@ Use the following procedures to verify that the PoC environment is configured pr ## Appendix B: Configuring Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 -This section is a placeholder for instructions to configure Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2.
