Use Hyper-V with Hololens Emulator
Kuma

Hi everyone,
I had a question on Hololens Emulator.
Can I use VS2017 with Hololens Emulator in a VM Hyper-V ? So, When I use Hololens Emulator, there is a VM (Hololens Emulator) in an other VM (my VM of Windows).
Thanks,
Kuma

To Run the HoloLens Emulator you must be running Windows 10 Professional.
You need at least 8GB memory.HOME VERSION WONT WORK
You have to follow the installation path https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/install_the_tools
These are the PC Requirements
HoloLens Emulator
The HoloLens emulator is based on Hyper-V and uses RemoteFx for hardware accelerated graphics. To use the emulator, make sure your PC meets these hardware requirements:
64-bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education (The Home edition does not support Hyper-V or the HoloLens emulator)
64-bit CPU
CPU with 4 cores (or multiple CPU's with a total of 4 cores)
8 GB of RAM or more
In the BIOS, the following features must be supported and enabled:
Hardware-assisted virtualization
Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
Hardware-based Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
GPU (The emulator might work with an unsupported GPU, but will be significantly slower)
DirectX 11.0 or later
WDDM 1.2 driver or later
If your system meets the above requirements, please ensure that the "Hyper-V" feature has been enabled on your system through Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off -> ensure that "Hyper-V" is selected for the Emulator installation to be successful.Visual 2015 not 2017 needs to initially to set up the Emulator and the HoloLens test examples
