1-1Operating Systems

An IT technician wants to enable Client Hyper-V on a Windows 11 Pro laptop to test multiple operating systems in virtual machines. Which processor capability must the laptop support for this feature to function?

A processor with second-level address translation supportCorrect · your answerCorrect: SLAT is the specific processor capability required to run Client Hyper-V.
A GPU compatible with DirectX 12 and a WDDM 2.0 driverDirectX 12 with WDDM 2.0 is the baseline graphics requirement for Windows 11 itself, not the Client Hyper-V feature.
A UEFI firmware set to Secure Boot capable modeSecure Boot capable UEFI is a baseline Windows 11 firmware requirement, not the Hyper-V-specific one.
An NVMe SSD supporting the Standard NVM Express driverNVMe with the Standard NVM Express driver is required for DirectStorage, a different feature.
A Trusted Platform Module version 2.0 chipTPM 2.0 is the baseline security chip requirement for Windows 11, not specific to Client Hyper-V.

Correct.

Concept

Some Windows 11 features have hardware requirements beyond the baseline minimums, and Client Hyper-V is one of them.

Why A

Client Hyper-V requires a processor with second-level address translation (SLAT), in addition to the general Windows 11 minimums.

Source

Client Hyper-V: requires a processor with second-level address translation (SLAT) capabilities. This feature is available in Windows Pro editions and greater.
