The original poster, Peterr, struggled with locating and using Hyper-V to create virtual machines, feeling overwhelmed despite finding the Hyper-V Manager. They expressed difficulty in following tutorials due to differences in interface and limited experience, contemplating switching to Oracle's VM for ease of use. Ultimately, Peterr decided to close the thread, unsure about their machine’s virtualization capabilities despite confirmation from BIOS and CPU details, and appreciated the assistance received.

Solution
I apologize for not posting back sooner. I did find the manager but that process was too much for me. I really would like to create a VM and watch many tutorials to learn. When I try to copy one, what I see on my screen and what I see on the tutorial, invariably varies and I have to discontinue.
Perhaps it is my limitations.
I want to build one so I don't have to keep using imaging and restore when I try something that fails to work out.
I think Oracle's VM is the easiest and I will give it another try.
Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply.
I started the thread so I feel should close it. There are contradictions; [perfmon /report] does not mention virtualization & neither does Speccy.
On the other hand when I google the CPU it says it does have virtualization.
Also, the BIOS shows Virtualization enabled.
I am not confident this machine can perform virtualization well so wish to thank all who helped and am closing the thread.
