title: Enable Hyper-V and Hardware Virtialization for VirtualBOX under Windows
body: <p>I am developing <a href="https://www.xamarin.com" rel="nofollow">xamarin</a> apps under windows.</p>
  
  <p>I want to regularly run the app under:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Windows Phone Emulator</li>
  <li>iPhone Emulator</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>For the first, Hyper-V needs to enabled under windows.</p>
  
  <p>For the second, one needs an OSX to connect to. I am trying to run OSX under <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/" rel="nofollow">VirtualBox</a>. For this to work, Hardware Virtualization needs to be enabled.</p>
  
  <p>Now, when I enable Hyper-V VirtualBox does not detect the hardware virtualization. And according to <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12350" rel="nofollow">this</a>, that will not change.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an solution how I can test iOS and WindowsPhone without having to enable/disable Hyper-V (which requires a restart)?</p>
