@massimo_tw @WSV_GUY @WorkingHardInIT Hyper-V is available in many editions of Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI. But we no longer offer the free "Microsoft Hyper-V Server" edition, nor do we have any plans to give Hyper-V away for free in the future. You can use Windows Server eval edition for test / dev.

@WSV_GUY @WorkingHardInIT No, MS abandoned free Hyper-V server and there is only Hyper-V 2019. No 2022, no 2025. 🤷‍♂️

@AdamarBE @WSV_GUY There is a 60-day free trial to kick the tires and try it out: azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/…

@WSV_GUY Is a free tier for Azure Stack HCI for homelabs ever gonna happen?
