Processors that support Client Hyper-V on Windows 8

By /

In order for a processor to support Client Hyper-V on Windows 8, the processor must support SLAT.

The following Intel processor SKUs support SLAT:

  • Core i3
  • Core i5
  • Core i7

For a list of AMD processor SKUs that support SLAT, see here:

Tip: If you have a processor that supports SLAT but you can’t enable Client Hyper-V when Windows 8 is installed on the machine, check to make sure you have the latest BIOS update.
