Enable Nested Virtualisation KB ID 0001888
Problem
If you want to enable virtualisation in a VM that is running inside Hyper-V (itself a hypervisor). Then you need to expose the virtualisation elements of the physical hosts processor to the nested VM.
In the case of Intel VMs that’s VTx and EPT. (For Intel based CPUs). Under VMware you would simply enable “Expose hardware assisted virtualisation to the guest OS” But in Hyper-V you do not get that option.
Solution: Enable Nested Virtualisation
Well in truth you do get that option, you’ve just got to run a bit of PowerShell on the host. Note THE VM MUST BE POWERED OFF FIRST!
Set-VMProcessor -VMName {Name-of-VM} -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true
Nice and easy
