Hi All,
I'm interested in buy a 2012 MacBook Air, but will need to run Windows as part of my job.
I would like to know if the Hyper-V role can be installed running Windows 8 in Boot Camp? (The Hyper-V role requires a function called SLAT to be available on the CPU to be installed on Windows 8). I need this for testing.
I understand that Windows 8 is probably not supported at this point, but would like to know if it's currently possible.
Thanks
Adam

Same Problem here.
I'm running Windows 8.1, EFI Boot mode on a late 2013 Macbook pro and the Hyper-V Platform option is disabled under Windows features.
No matter if I boot into Windows directly or by setting the Boot partition under OS X, I cannot enable Hyper-V.
Did anyone have some luck getting Hyper-V support enabled under Windows on a Macbook?
It's a shame to by a machine for 3000 $ and then not being able to use all of it's features!

There is a requirement for the CSM-BIOS layer to be invoked for Hyper-V to work properly. Since you are using EFI Boot, it is unlikely to work.
Hi,
The current version of refind uefi boot manager has an option to fix the installation and execution of hyper-v on Windows 8/8.1
I know this is an old thread but I wanted to offer the insight into this issue I gained last year when I tackled this problem. I forget where I found the solution but this thread led me there.
I have a late 2013 15" MBP Retina 512GB.
I've been able to get virtualization and hyper-v to launch/work 100% of the time when loading windows from OSX. I'm guessing when booting into OSX all of the processor's features are enabled and that translates over to windows when using Startup Disk to reboot.
Essentially this is the procedure I follow when I want to use hyper-v and it has yet to fail even through two separate Bootcamp installs.
From windows:
Right click the Bootcamp Assistant in the tray and choose reboot into OSX.
After it reboots into OSX I tend to select shut down and then power the computer back up from off letting it load into OSX for good measure.
Log in to OSX
Launch Startup Disk
Select restart to the Bootcamp partition.
Functional hyper-v
From OSX:
Restart the computer for good measure.
Log in to OSX
Launch Startup Disk
Select restart to the Bootcamp partition.
Functional hyper-v
I can't guarantee success to everyone but this has worked for me on my machine through two different Bootcamp installs and works on my friends MBP as well.
