Microsoft virtual machine with Windows 7 pro
I tried to install Hyper-v on Windows 7, which Microsoft offers as an update for Pro and Ultimate only, I tried following the steps from this link: https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/11890/How-To-install-and-configure-HyperV-manager-on-Win7-machine.html . I installed the update. Will I now able to use microsoft's virtual machines? I was only able to get to the " sconfig.cmd in the command prompt" step in the article. Do I need to follow the other steps in order to use the Microsoft virtual machine?

What I forgot to add above is that if you want to remotely administer 2012 or 2012r2 Servers running Hyper-V, then you will also need a newer OS than Windows 7. It's tool only works for the 2008 and 2008 r2 server OS's, While the tool you get with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 will work with 2008, 2008r2, 2012, and 2012r2 server OS's.
