# Hyper-V

* Begin by opening Windows Powershell as an administrator. To do this, type "powershell" into the Windows search bar and click "Run as administrator" next to it.
* With Powershell open, copy and paste the following lines of code one at a time and press enter after each line: `bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V`
* Don't worry if you encounter an error message saying "Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature: Feature name Microsoft-Hyper-V is unknown", this is normal.
* Once the above steps are completed, restart your PC to apply the changes. The Hyper-V feature will now be turned off.
