How to Install Hyper-V feature on a Virtual Machine by using VirtualBox

Hi there everyone,

After has lose several time to add Hyper-V feature on Windows Server 2012 by using VirtualBox, I would like to share this information.

The Hyper-V feature is only to be added on physical servers and by default isn't installable on virtual machines. This guide is JUST FOR LAB issue and to improve and learn more about Windows Server 2012, specifically Hyper-V feature.

DON’T FORGET ! IT`S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THIS ENVIRONMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY MICROSOFT. USE IT ONLY FOR SELF STUDY AND LABORATORY.
