    Hey Y’all,
    
    Here’s one for the books. Two machines both running W10 1809.
    
    In Windows Optional Features you’ll find Microsoft-Hyper-V
    
    on the other machine you’ll won’t find Microsoft-Hyper-V but rather VirtualMachinePlatform as the optional feature.
    
    This one had me scratching the ole noggin for a while as I’ve displayed the windows version on the desktop and both reported: Build 17763.rs5_release.180914-1434.
    
    However upon running WinVer I discovered:

    Home versus Pro editions.
    
    On Pro you get a real Hyper-V which allows you to host VM’s using Microsoft’s engine.
    
    On Home you get Windows Hypervisor Platform which is a set of API’s required by some third party virtual machine engines – but not much else.
    
    More info about the latter here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/api/
