The reason is that most of the drivers run independently from the hardware layer, resulting in less overhead in maintaining the virtual machine. In terms of customization, Hyper-V is not as feature-rich as other hypervisors, but again, it’s fast. Since the tool has been developed by Microsoft itself, the performance while running a Windows VM through Hyper-V is impressive in comparison to other third-party tools. Currently, Hyper-V supports Windows, Ubuntu, and other Linux distros as well.
It allows users to run multiple instances of different operating systems on top of the Windows OS. Hyper-V is a hardware-based hypervisor developed by Microsoft.
