I'm running Windows 10 Home edition. Recently updated to 1809. Found a few new features and services related to virtualization. Does this mean Hyper-V is now available for Home edition too? What do these additional features do?

    Windows Hypervisor Platform has existed since 1803, it actually, isn't a new feature and exist for both Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional. Virtual Machine Platform as described by the article, does not appear to do anything currently.

  • Thanks for the link. So, Virtual Machine Platform does nothing at the moment and Windows Hypervisor Platform has existed since 1803. Does the latter activate any usable features at the moment or is it too just a placeholder for now?

  • Windows Hypervisor Platform is an API that can be used by third-party programs like VirtualBox
