Using Windows XP in Windows 10 by using Hyper-V client

1. Use the Windows command prompt to enable the hyper-v client on Windows 10

At the Windows command prompt (using administrator credentials), enter the following:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

NOTE: You must restart your computer to complete the Hyper-V installation. Depending on your computer manufacturer, you may have to pause a few seconds before restarting, for the required changes to take effect. If you use a laptop, you may have to remove the battery before restarting. After restarting the computer, you can use Hyper-V Manager or Windows PowerShell to create and manage VMs. You can also use VM Console to connect to VMs remotely.

    This doesn't work. The idea that you can extract the VirtualXPVHD file, rename it VirtualXPVHD.vhd, and use it in Hyper-V doesn't work.
    It gives error: Failed to open attachment '\path\VirtualXPVHD.vhd'. Error: 'The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse.' (0xC03A001A)
    See the last post in the lifehacker reference for an explanation why.

      Since I running Hyper-V on Windows 10, the internal drive of the Hyper-V should be the Windows 10 hard drive. May I ask do I understanding your question correctly?

      Thank for the response. I am so sorry for my bad English. What I mean is asking about the partition of hard drive on windows which installed hyper-v, does all drive or partition and usb can showed on virtual system as it's function on Virtual PC in Windows 7 after integration service installed?

      May I ask do you mean the virtual machine able to access the host drive or partition and usb directly? e.g. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windows_vpc/2009/12/21/folder-sharing-between-windows-7-and-vm/ or https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449412(v=ws.10).aspx or http://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-systems/windows-7/how-to-access-usb-devices-in-windows-virtual-pc-for-windows-7/
      If yes, I need to test and get back to you.
      Thank you.

      I am sorry to tell you that you cannot use Windows XP as a guest OS to use such features on hyper-v. Since the Hyper-V "Enhanced session mode" which is what you need. It is not support Windows XP. The Hyper-V virtual machine (guest) must have Remote Desktop Services enabled and run Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 as the guest operating system.
