I’m currently spending a lot of time with our customers, assisting them in
the change from Windows 7 to Windows 10. On the tech team’s desktops
and laptops, there is no built-in type two hypervisor because Windows 7
doesn’t have one, there would always be some form of 3rd party hypervisor
software installed. This commonly leads me to show the power of
Windows 10 and 8, it also gives some exposure to Hyper-V where the skills
can be transferable to a degree to managing proper hyper-v environments.
