# Hyper-V
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vagrant comes with support out of the box for [Hyper-V](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-V),
|
||
|
|
a native hypervisor written by Microsoft. Hyper-V is available by default for
|
||
|
|
almost all Windows 8.1 installs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Hyper-V provider is compatible with Windows 8.1 only. Prior versions
|
||
|
|
of Hyper-V do not include the necessary APIs for Vagrant to work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hyper-V must be enabled prior to using the provider. Most Windows installations
|
||
|
|
will not have Hyper-V enabled by default. To enable Hyper-V, go to
|
||
|
|
"Programs and Features" and check the box next to "Hyper-V."

<strong>Warning:</strong> Enabling Hyper-V will cause VirtualBox, VMware,
|
||
|
|
and any other virtualization technology to no longer work. See

<a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SwitchEasilyBetweenVirtualBoxAndHyperVWithABCDEditBootEntryInWindows81.aspx">this blog post</a>
|

|
|
for an easy way to create a boot entry to boot Windows without Hyper-V
|
||
|
|
enabled, if there will be times you'll need other hypervisors.
