Surface 7 Laptop - windows 10 iso virtualisation NOT working

I purchased latest: Surface laptop 7th edition Model 2037, Snapdragon (R) X12-core processor (ARM)

According to the following link: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/surface/surface-supported-operating-systems - this PC doesn't support windows 10 operation software. I have been told by Microsoft support (get help application team) since this PC does not support windows 10 it will not work under the Hyper-V virtualisation as well, can you please confirm this?

Note: I had already tried to run the windows 10 iso under the Hyper-V and It did NOT WORK for me. If the above is true and the Hyper-V can be used only to run Windows 11 within Hyper-V as a part of windows 11, I think this defeats the point of virtualisation which allowed me always in the past on different laptops (lenovo, asus, siemens, HP, dell, etc) to run different versions of windows operation software on one PC which is required for my work. Please advise.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    I suggest you open cmd and run the following command. You can see the hyper-v requirement at the bottom to check whether your current device supports hyper-v.

    systeminfo

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best regards

    Zunhui

    PH Running systeminfo command in the command prompt comes with the following answer: Hyper-V requirements: Hypervisor has been detected. Features required for hyper-v will not be displayed. This does not answer my question. Even if I know Hyper-V requirements are met, it doesn't explain what type of windows can be run on the Hyper-V application.

    Please note my original question!
