The advantages of using a virtual machine are the same as those outlined at :doc:`virtualization_quickstart`. Unfortunately Virtual Box and Hyper-V cannot be run simultaneously. This leaves 2 options - disabling the Hyper-V feature, or configuring a new Hyper-V machine to run OSGeoLive. A free tool `hypervswitch <https://unclassified.software/en/apps/hypervswitch>`_ can be used to quickly enable and disable Hyper-V - however it still requires a reboot each time the setting is changed. The rest of this page documents how to configure OSGeoLive to run on Hyper-V.
