I know, there is a bigger discussion about this topic, but currently I did'nt find a good solution for this issue.
First: I got a Windows 8.1 host system that uses Hyper V to run the Windows Phone 8 Emulator.
I also would like to run a virtual machine on this system (VirtualBox, VMWare, whatever works).
The solutions I know:
- Hyper V Manager to set up a virtual machine (e.g. a UNIX-system)
Hyper V is made for server environments, so there are no USB and sound drivers.
- The usage of bcdedit.exe to enable/disable Hyper V (+ reboot) to run other VMs than Hyper V VMs
I don't want to reboot my system to run a virtual machine. :/
Maybe someone else has a good idea for me. Some ideas I have in mind is to run the Windows Phone Emulator without Hyper V - but this is probably not possible. Or to run a virtual machine while Hyper V is enabled, I don't need hardware virtualization in that VM, but it should be fast enough to run e.g. a browser and to play videos and some other stuff.
Do you need some more information about my pc?
Thanks.
