    If you have the Hyper-V Platform role installed then your 'host' OS is indeed running inside a hypervisor - everything is as Hyper-V is a Type 1 Hypervisor.

    At the command prompt type "systeminfo" (no quotes) and the last line should be "A hypervisor has been detected..."

    That is what it says.

    I must say I don't truly understand - the one and only reason I installed it was so that I could copy VMs from our Hyper-V server at work and not compete for resources since the VM would be running locally.

    I have a hard time wrapping my head around that statement. My machine starts up with Win 8.1 running without any VM layer then I install a component of Windows and all of a sudden my whole OS is now running inside a VM?

    I need to search for "Type 1 Hypervisor"
