Can ryzen run hyper-v nested virtualization?

I read that it was not possible with the previous gens of ryzen...

I confirm that ryzen 3600 cannot run nested virtualization. I tried on a windows server 2016 and esxi also

Hmm, I do not agree. I was able to run nested virtualization using VMWare ESXI 6.7 U1 on both Ryzen 3600 and 3700x without any problems (Esxi was on the host, hyper-v was running in the guest). The problem is only with MS HYPER-V currently - only on hyper-v you cannot use nested virtualization when using AMD Hardware.

Here is a link to User Voice portal about that issue: https://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/295047-general-feedback/suggestions/31734808-nested-virtualization-for-amd-epyc-and-ryzen

 

So it seems that only MS is still trying to artificially block features on AMD hardware... This is sad.

Did you install ESXi on bare metal or in a vm on vmware as I did?
