Windows 8 Hyper-V destroying my Windows

[Ased Zazx]

I'm running Windows 8 x64 and it usually works flawlessy.

Hyper-V refuses to be useful when I get it from add features. Every time I try to install it, Windows somehow breaks and stops running after Boot loading screens, forcing me to restart and use System Restore.

Any ideas on how to get Hyper-V? This kind of thing has never happened to me before and it keeps doing it.

Hyper V has been reported to have problems. You might wish to consider a 3rd party app for this chore. VMware is one such app. There are many others. These 3rd party apps seem to be far superior to Hyper V.

VMware Player Link Removed is free and now you can create the VM there. In earlier versions you couldn't. I was never that impressed with the other VM software MS offered.
