    --> NESTED VIRTUALIZATION IN HYPER-V FOR AMD CPUs NOW!!!! <--

    @Microsoft, there are no words for this kind of CPU manufacturer (platform) treatment.
    Other that having some deals struck in the past with Intel by which you are obligated to not support this feature (and directly doing damage to your reputation) there is no excuse.
    Enable this feature as soon as possible since virtualization on AMD CPUs is on a rising curve and you don't wan't to miss out.

    Nov 2018 and AMD nested virtualisation is still not opened up in Windows 10/2016. Please add this Microsoft.

    this is insane. c'mon MS, stop taking bribes from intel
    I need nested on my Threadripper host, with one VM running Visual Studio

  • Nelson Chen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    My plans for testing of nested VMs with much better value AMD processors is killed by the lack of support for nested Hyper V AMD processors.

    I hope they prioritize this. By the time Zen 2 rolls around, AMD's processors will be even better.

    We really really need this, would prefer Hyper-V to VMware or Xen, but have to go with what actually works. Not going back to inferior Intel.

    It should be cheap and correspond to AMDCPU with many cores.
    I believe in Microsoft.

    I'm now going to have to purchase a very expensive Intel machine because of this. It will be more expensive than the more powerful AMD alternative that I would have preferred.

    how ling we need to wait ? buying intel processor because of this feature is just not smart

  • Lukas Dave commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Nested Virtualization for for whole AMD-V is needed urgently. MS could earn so munch more $Cash selling Server Licences for existing AMD Computing Centers

  • Cobert Rannon commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Considering AMD has better chips than Intel for power users where high thread count is important (ie virtualization) and will for the next few years at least, this is unbelievable that MS has not prioritized this.
