# Troubleshooting guide: Hyper-V nested virtualization
1414

15-
Nested virtualization allows you to run Hyper-V (or other hypervisors) within a virtual machine, enabling powerful development, testing, and learning scenarios where you need virtual machines inside other VMs. This is typically available on Windows Server 2016 or later, Windows 10/11 Pro and Enterprise (with Hyper-V), and supported Azure virtual machine series. Nested virtualization introduces complexity—networking, memory, CPU compatibility, host/guest configuration, and performance often require careful consideration. This guide provides a structured approach for troubleshooting nested virtualization issues in physical and cloud-based environments.
