[noobftw]

Anyone know what this means?

Did you try clicking that link to learn more?

 

[noobftw]

Yes but I'm still not sure  maybe its because im running an AMD chip.

The link goes to - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/vir...v-architecture

Im guessing you are running Hyper-V feature from Windows 10?

[noobftw]

Yes. While trying to install VMware (ESXI) i am also coming across this error

 

[BloodKnight7]

Ok, second question, what AMD processor are you using? is it SMT capable (AMD versoin of Hyperthread)? If its not then that warning is an expected message.

2700x

Ok... so your processor IS SMT capable as its one of the newest chips from AMD. Because of the PSOD (Purple Screen of Death) on your nexted ESXi... my gut tells me it has something to do with BIOS settings... would you mind going into your BIOS and loading the high "performance" settings, most of the motherboards have options like this.... if not just make sure that any setting that says anything related to virtualization or SMT is on.

For the ESXi purple screen of death I found this! still not supported it seems!  Maybe try ESXi 6.7 its brand new... came out last week... Havent tested it myself. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

I took a look in the bios and everything related to virtualisation was set to enabled or auto (with only the option to disable). I'm stumped 

 

[noobftw]

Ahh right, that's a shame.  I tried the latest version and it does the same thing 

[BloodKnight7]

I made a quick swipe of VMWare forums... so as I thougth version 6.7 looks promising enough to give it a try.

Woops... nevermind then. Sorry about that brother. VMWare is more oriented to server architectures and does delay sometime to offer support of more mainstream products for standard users!... Having said that... I wonder how will Ryzen deal with VMWare Workstation.... you could try it, the demo is free for 60 days I believe.

[noobftw]

Thanks for your help mate, appreciate it. I will try that.

 

What gets me is that i have another system - Intel i9 7900x and i get this error when trying to install the latest version of ESXi

Are you using Windows 10 or Windows server? I believe processor resource control isn't a feature in Windows 10 hyper-v and you should not worry about it unless you need it.

[noobftw]

Windows 10 yes

Why are you installing ESXi in a Hyper-V VM?

You are correct, that warning is expected.
