missing hyper-v icon

Got my desktop upgraded to win10. Went to delete the win10 in my
hyper-v partition. The hyper-v icon wasn't listed in the "all apps"
section; had to do a search.

Guess the new way of doing things is to do a search as ms is hiding
lots of stuff from us dumb users.

Check Programs and Features, look in Windows Features.
Typically (i.e. Win8 era), Hyper-V is unticked and
must get ticked to install. Naturally, the Hyper-V on
Win10 is an entirely different program than the
Hyper-V on Win8. That's just the way ticklish
VM software works. Every host OS presents
new challenges, when inserting hooks in stuff,
applying filter drivers, and so on.

If you tick Hyper-V as a feature, and you don't
meet the pre-requisites, the feature installation
will fail silently. That's how it worked on Win8
for me.

Good luck,
