Windows is an incredible operating system for your computer with enormous features. Even those who have been using Windows since years are unaware of many features that are available for them to explore and experiment with. Among these is one such feature that allows users to run multiple operating systems on the same desktop/computer.

Hyper-V can be used for a number of reasons such as running a software that requires an older version of Windows or OS other than Windows. It also allows users, especially software developers and engineers, to test software on different operating systems. One can run multiple operating systems at the same time using multiple virtual machines on a single desktop or computer.
