Windows 10: Hyper V on windows home using a Script found on the internet, IS it a bad option.

I am using windows 11 home and I wanted to use the hyperV, I know it is not available on home editions but I found a blog post and they were advising on using a script, I need the hyperV but I dont want to compromise my windows security. are these scripts really a bad option?

Moving Hyper-V to Another Disk

1. Export the virtual machines to the drive where you want to move them (tutorial).
2. When all VMs have been exported, delete them in Hyper-V Manager.
3. When Hyper-V Manager is empty, not showing any VMs, import the previously exported VMs (tutorial). In Option One Step 6 of the tutorial, you need to select Register the virtual machine in-place, or if choosing Option Two in tutorial, select Step 2.

Easy!

No sleep options on Hyper-V

Do you have a specific need to have sleep available in a VM, or is your question just out of curiosity? If you just want to suspend its activity, then 'restore down' to have the VM connection in a window on your host machine. Then Pause is available in the Action menu and on the toolbar.







If you specifically need sleep/hibernate for test purposes then no, neither sleep or hibernation are available to the guest OS in a Hyper-V VM. It is possible to enable hibernation for a Hyper-V VM though....

How to enable Sleep/Hibernate on a Hyper-V guest VM? - Super User

Sleep is probably not possible, even on a physical machine it requires a video driver that supports Standby (S3). It's unlikely that the 'Microsoft Hyper-V Video' HyperVideo.sys driver does.
