Hyper-V

Nanos can run on hyper-v.

Pre-requisites

Hyper-v is only supported on Windows 10/11 Enterprise, Pro and Education.

You need to enable the next Windows features:

• WSL 2

• Hyper-v.

After enabling the required windows features you may be able to manage virtual machines with ops commands from a wsl shell with administrator permissions.

If you see the error message

exec: "qemu-img": exeuctable file not found in $PATH

install qemu-utils in WSL2.

As of right now OPS on Windows requires to be ran in WSL2 with admin privileges. You can start WSL2 by right-clicking on it.
