In the next major update, NoxPlayer will be launching a new version that’s fully compatible with Hyper-V. So far, NoxPlayer is the first one in the emulator industry that supports Virtualbox technology and Hyper-V enabled at the same time<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You might be wondering what virtual box and Hyper-V services are and why this update matters a lot. Keep reading to find out:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    What is Hyper-V and VirtualBox Technology?<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Similar to VirtualBox and VMware virtualization technology, Hyper-V is Microsoft’s hardware virtualization product. It lets you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine<\/strong>. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs.\u00a0Hyper-V\u00a0is available on 64-bit versions of\u00a0Windows 10<\/em>\u00a0Pro, Enterprise, and Education<\/strong>. It is not available on the Home edition.<\/p>\r\n

    If you are a techie you must know VirtualBox and VMware cannot run with Hyper-V enabled<\/strong>:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n

    VirtualBox and VMware Workstation (and VMware Player) are “level 2 hypervisors.” Hyper-V and VMware ESXi are “level 1 hypervisors.” The main difference is that a level 2 hypervisor is an application running inside an existing OS, while a level 1 hypervisor is the OS itself. This means that when you enable Hyper-V, your Windows 10 “host” becomes a virtual machine. A special one, but nonetheless a virtual machine.<\/p>\r\n

    VirtualBox and VMware Workstation cannot work inside a Hyper-V virtual machine because as a VM, the Intel VT-X instruction is no longer accessible from your virtual machine, only the host has access to it.<\/p>\r\n

    Why Bother?<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

    You might not know most of the Android emulators on the market are based on VirtualBox<\/strong>, including NoxPlayer. VirtualBox and VMware will conflict with Hyper-V<\/strong>, so you have to turn off Hyper-V and restart your computer to use Android emulators, which is quite troublesome.<\/p>\r\n

    Quite different from the classic emulators, recent emulation gaming products released by industry giants like Windows 11<\/strong> Subsystem for Android\u2122\ufe0f (WSA) and Google Play Games<\/strong> are built based on Hyper-V technology, and they can only run with Hyper-V enabled<\/strong>. To simply put this, if the traditional Android emulators don’t innovate and transform, they won’t be able to co-exist with Subsystem for Android\u2122\ufe0f (WSA) and Google Play Games<\/strong>, which forces users to choose among different products.<\/p>\r\n

    Thus we are proud to announce that NoxPlayer has now become the first one to finally solve the conflict between the Intel VT-x virtualization technology that needs to be enabled to run traditional emulators (to run VirtualBox) and hyper-V, which has bothered many emulator users for years. So now,<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n
    1. Especially for Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education users, they can now use the emulator without hassle, even with Hyper-V turned on by default<\/strong><\/span>.<\/li>\r\n
    2. Developers that have to work in a technical environment that has Hyper-V enabled<\/strong><\/span> can now run NoxPlayer with ease<\/li>\r\n
    3. Users who would like to try all emulation products and want to have WSA, Google Play Games, and classic Android emulators installed on the same PC<\/strong><\/span> can now try NoxPlayer. In addition, if tech bloggers\/YouTubers would like to run some tests, they can now choose NoxPlayer.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      What’s the difference between the latest version of NoxPlayer and the Hyper-V version of Bluestacks?<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

      There is another emulator that has released a Hyper-V-compatible version. Rather than opting to upgrade the VirtualBox version, Bluestacks released a version based entirely on Hyper-V. That being said, firstly<\/strong>, you cannot run the emulator on Windows 10 Home<\/strong> and earlier Operating systems that do not support Hyper-V. AND secondly<\/strong>, if you’ve installed another version that’s based on VirtualBox, your data cannot be transferred<\/strong> to the new emulator, which seems a bit annoying. Also<\/strong>, if you have other products on your PC (especially for developers) that have to turn off Hyper-V to run, you’ll get the traditional version of the emulator installed on your PC too<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

      For the best user experience, the best way is to find a solution to have Android emulators compatible with both VirtualBox and Hyper-V, and NoxPlayer made it.<\/p>\r\n
