Install did not complete successfully, win7 -
I am trying to install on Windows 7 Professional with no luck.
1) I've installed Visual Studio 2015,
2) I've installed the remote administrator tools and enabled Hyper-V (I think my problems are with Hyper-V still).
The installer for the hololens emulator reaches 43% and fails with this message:
"We can't detect whether your PC supports hardware virtualization. You may need to enable it. For more information, see MSDN article at "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=247585".
As far as I can tell, Hyper-V is enabled.. so...?
I've attached my log if anyone can take a look or offer a suggestion.

Thanks James! I was able to upgrade from Windows 7 pro -> Windows 10 pro, and the hololens emulator installation now completes sucessfully.
As a side note, I found out that windows 10 upgrade destroys the partition table and grub 2 of a dual boot system. Beware!

I actually can't upgrade to Windows 10 (part of a big organization).
I'm using Windows 7, updated my BIOS, also installed RSAT for the Hyper-V support, enabled it in Windows features and still get:
