HYPER-Y on ARM based Surface Pro 9 / Registry Changes to enable HYPER-V

According a Microsoft support agent the HYPER-V functionality can be enabled/activate by changing and adding some Registry entries of my Surface 9 Pro SD3 3.00 GHz (64-bit operating system ARM-based processor).
Unfortunately he was not authorized to give me the information what need to be changed to enable HYPER-V on my system.
Does anyone have experience with in change registry to enable HYPER-V topic and is willing to help me and tell me what and how to do ?

Appreciate any advices, help and instructions.

See you

    I'm glad you're willing to try and enable Hyper-V on your Surface Pro 9. While Microsoft doesn't officially support Hyper-V on ARM-based devices, some enthusiasts have managed to hack around this limitation.

    Keep in mind that not all ARM devices support Hyper-V, and there may be limitations in terms of functionality compared to x86/x64 architecture. If you run into issues or if Hyper-V doesn't appear as an option, it might just be a limitation of the device itself.

    Since you've been instructed by a Microsoft agent to make these changes but they weren't able to provide specifics, please be cautious about how you proceed. There is no official documentation or common practice for enabling Hyper-V through the registry for ARM-based processors.

      Thanks for your advice. As log as you dont have a real professional Agent from MS you never will get a fruitful assistance. All frist level supporter without deep knowledge in special topics. I opened a case # 7048587241 at MS and was promissed to get help within 47-72 hours it was on AUG12 - 24 at 9.51pm from a Agent of a special team. It was the second case, my first case was # 7045876640 on 11JUL 7:31 pm. As I say, many promises and nothing is kept. I just laugh at what is going on here and the level of know-how these people have.

      That's why I turned to the community and hope that there are people here with the know-how who can help. 

      I still hope to find a soluation.

      best regards

      Greg
