Installing additional Windows 10 features
Let's say that you have just completed the installation of Windows 10 Enterprise and that you want to access client Hyper-V. Scrolling through the Start menu, you will notice that client Hyper-V is not there. A further search in Administrative Tools does not match the requested result as well. However, knowing that client Hyper-V is part of the Enterprise edition, then the question is how do you add this feature to your Windows 10? The answer to that question can be found in Turn Windows Features On or Off. To do this, perform the following steps:
- Click the search icon on a taskbar and enter Turn Windows features on or off.
- Click the best match, which is Turn Windows features on or off.
- On a Windows Features window, locate and check Hyper-V (as shown in Figure 2.8):
- Make sure that both Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform are checked too, and then click OK.
- Windows Features will start to Apply Changes.
- Once completed, Windows Features displays the message Windows completed the requested changes.
- Click Close to close the Windows Features window.
Whatever feature you need that is not preloaded by default in Windows 10 can be added through the Turn Windows features On or Off option. And, as the name indicates, any added feature that you do not need anymore can be turned off with the same option.
