Ya know, I wanted to try Hyper-V... but it turns out that this
particular flavor of Windows 8.1 doesn't include it. It's confusing,
because when I googled for "Windows 8.1 Hyper-V", one of the first
links returned is to a Microsoft page about Hyper-V on Windows 8.1,
and how to enable it. Nothing about "Home Edition" or "Windows 8.1
Lite" or "our crippled version that you need to pay to uncripple"... lol
For whatever reason, this computer did not ship with Hyper-V, and I'm
not paying MS any more than what they got off me in the price on this
system.
Anyhow, turns out this computer comes with a newer video and sound
system... the drivers aren't polished enough yet, so I'm stuck running
in a VM. I'm using VirtualBox.
