Can a HP Pavilion dv7-6130ez run Hyper-V?

Question

I need a laptop as a test machine for Hyper-V, nothing fancy. I found this one:

HP Pavilion dv7-6130ez

The general specs (8 GB memory, 1 TB disk) seem very sufficient for my purposes and the CPU (2 GHz Intel Core i7-2630QM) is listed by Intel as supporting both x64 and VT-x:

Intel

Is that all I have to pay attention to and/or can somebody confirm that this laptop will be able to run Hyper-V and Windows Server 2008 R2?

Answer 1

As long as the CPU Supports Intel or AMD VT, and there is enough memory, you should be good to go. Weather its supported or not is a different story... you may have problems (YMMV) when it comes to graphics drivers and wifi drivers.
