I apologize if I insulted you. I was only trying to be realistic. Like I said Hyper-V is not meant for the beginner.

Doing a little Web searching is necessary if you don't understand something. In fact Web searching is considered a basic computer skill. Unless a person acquires that skill they greatly diminish what they can do on the computer.

BTW, for a few years I taught basic computer skills to Seniors. I found that the ones that did the best were the ones that learned to do web searching. The ones that didn't, didn't progress and came back every week with the same questions. They often gave up.

I bought my first computer in 1979 long before there was an Internet. Computers were much harder to use than they are now. I had to depend upon my own initiative to read magazines and books.
None of this changes the basic point that (as a very experienced software developer, that I know) is that error messages should be as helpful as possible. When you try to install Windows 11 in Hyper-v, the installer checks criteria.

As the installer knows what criteria it is checking, it also knows what passes or fails. It is just lazy programming not to report the specific failure reason.

Actually this is not a hyper-v issue pat all - it is just the fact single core pcs are so old they could not run Win11)

No point in discussing any more.
