# 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](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10)
* [Hyper-v](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-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.
