HP Recommended

Just last week I got myself a refurbished HP XW 6600 Workstation equiped with dual Xeon E5450 Quad Cores processors. I played with Windows 2008 R2 Server Evaluation edition and was able to run the Hyper V platform and run on top a Windows 8 Pro Evaluation version and an Fedora Linux version.

 

Just this morning I have upgraded from Windows 7 Pro x64 to Windows 8 Pro x64, with hardware virtualization enabled in the BIOS.

 

The Hyper V platform worked fine in Windows 2008 R2 Server but on my fresh install of Windows 8 Pro (not the evaluation edition but a proper licensed one)

The feature Hyper V Platform is in grey.

 

If you move with you mouse a message pops up :

 

Hyper-V cannot be installed : The processor does not have SLAT (second level address translation capabilities. My HP has got two Xeon E5450 Quad Core processors.

 

What is going on here.
