Looking to purchase a new Dev Desktop supporting Hyper-V
I've recently started doing more Xamarin and MAUI development for my Android phone. I understand the desktops supporting hyper-v are best (the emulators run much faster).
I'm wanting to spend anywhere between $500 and $1000. My challenge is knowing which computers support hyper-v before I purchase it.
It's easy to check an existing system for hyper-v support, but what can I do to determine before I buy it?

Hi Jeff,
Asking is great unlike me who didn't ask, I thought my old computer doesn't support Hyper -V only to find that I had to enable it on the BIOS. I now have an extra development machine. To answer your question you need a 64-bit OS that supports SLAT and VM Monitor Mode extentions, also enable virtualization on the BIOS
Hope this helps.
