Hyper-V in Windows 10 and Windows 11 Home Edition

Hyper-V in Windows 10 and Windows 11 allows running Virtual Machine. It is supported only in Pro, Enterprise and Education Edition of Windows 10 and Windows 11 by default. But this guide will show you how to enable it in Home Editions of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Check if virtualization is enabled:

  • Search for Command Prompt in Windows Start Menu and open it.
  • Type systeminfo and press Enter. Wait for the process to finish
  • Once the results appear, search for the Hyper-V Requirements section which is usually the last one. 11
    • If it says A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed. that means Hyper-V is already enabled and there is no reason following this guide anymore.
  • Otherwise, check for Virtualization Enabled in Firmware:.

fork() is evil; vfork() is goodness; afork() would be better; clone() is stupid

I recently happened upon a very interesting implementation of popen() (different API, same idea) called popen-noshell using clone(2), and so I opened an issue requesting use of vfork(2) or posix_spawn() for portability. It turns out that on Linux there's an important advantage to using clone(2). I think I should capture the things I wrote there in a better place. A gist, a blog, whatever.

This is not a paper. I assume reader familiarity with fork() in particular and Unix in general, though, of course, I link to relevant wiki pages, so if the unfamiliar reader is willing to go down the rabbit hole, they should be able to come ou
