We created and installed a virtual machine via the Hyper-V manager of Windows 10 v2004 (20H1).Īs shown in the image below, we are using version 15.5.5 of VMware Workstation Pro.Īnd as expected, you can use VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines simultaneously without any problem. If VMware Workstation was already installed before you enabled Hyper-V, be sure to enable this 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature manually. Once the installation is complete, you will see that the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' Windows feature is now activated. Leave the 'Install Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHP) automatically' box checked and click Next.Īt the end of the installation of VMware Workstation Pro, you will see the 'Installing Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHP)' message appears.

However, for VMware Workstation to function properly, you will need to install/activate the feature mentioned above. If Hyper-V is installed, but the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' (WHP) Windows feature is not installed, the 'Compatible Setup' step will be displayed.Īs indicated by this wizard, the installer has detected that Hyper-V is enabled. Start the installation of VMware Workstation 15.5.5 (if it's not already installed). Note : Hyper-V is not available in the Family edition of Windows 10. With VMware Workstation 16, this support has been updated to also support the deployment of OCI (Open Container Initiative) containers, virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters at the same time as using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).įor this tutorial, we therefore installed Windows 10 Pro in version 2004 (20H1) and we activated the 'Hyper-V' feature. What was not possible before : Hyper-V - Coexistence with VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Since VMware Workstation 15.5.5, you can now use VMware Workstation and Hyper-V simultaneously if you have Windows 10 v2004 (20H1) or later.
