Hi Jeff,

I started recently following your work because of the Ansible 101 episodes and I wanted first of all to say great work! and a big Thank you!! When I can I will definitely sponsor you.

Meanwhile I was wondering if you have considered or have any plans to make the boxes available with config for Hyper-V?

Unfortunately on Windows if you have Hyper-V Virtual box can no longer use VT-X.

@nmofonseca - At this point, no. I have to limit it to the current set of boxes for maintainability. I used to maintain VMware compatibility too, and was considering EC2 AMIs, but the amount of work was a little more than I was willing to take on.

Note that VirtualBox should be able to work with Hyper-V now, see Use VirtualBox and Hyper-V at the same time thanks to the Hyper-V API.

Hello @geerlingguy , thank you anyway for taking the time to reply I know you are a busy guy. A big tank you also for the link you sent unfortunately I can't use it since I don't have the right Windows 10 version, however I will try this [workaround ]https://www.hanselman.com/blog/SwitchEasilyBetweenVirtualBoxAndHyperVWithABCDEditBootEntryInWindows81.aspx(url)
