Enable hyper-V on Windows 2012 - virtualbox

I have a window7 (32 bit) machine. I installed Virtual Box and created a VM (Windows 2012 {64bit} with enabled VT-x/AMD-V,Nested Paging).
I want to enable Hyper-V on this VM any Idea?
I tried following links but not working for me:
Link1
Link2
but in my case I am using Virtual Box.
How can I enable Hyper-V feature?

Do you want to expose VT-x/AMD-V to the guest system in the VM so it can run Hyper-V inside VM? As far as I know, VirtualBox does not support it, but VMWare does, even in their free VMWare Player.
I have been running Windows Phone 8 emulator in VMWare Player without problems. Yes, it required manual editing of .vmx file, but is works reliably and without any problems at all.
If you decide to give VMWare Player a try, make sure you have VT-x/AMD-V available and enabled on your physical host computer. Then add the following setting to your VMWare machine:
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
mce.enable = "TRUE"
and you should be able to start Hyper-V inside your VM.
For more information, see these links:
Unable to use Hyper-V platform inside a Windows 8 virtual machine
How to Enable Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Role in VMware
and some useful topics on VirtualBox forums which explain why the feature is not available on VirtualBox:

I really miss this feature on VirtualBox because I find VMWare Player to be bloated and it slows the host system down much more than VirtualBox does.

ERROR FOR INSTALLATION ESXI 7 ON THE VMware Workstation (No network adapters were detected)

I want to use VMware Workstation 15.5.1 to install VMware vSphere ESXi 7 on one VM.
I am using virtual network adaptor which works on my other windows VMs on my vmware workstation( such as AD, and ... ).
I want to install VMware vSphere ESXi 7, and I am getting bellow error :
“No network adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party driver may be required.
Ensure that there is at least one network adapter physically connected to the system before attempting installation. If the problem persists, consult the VMware Knowledge Base.”enter image description here
WHY CANNOT I INSTALL ESXi ON VMWARE WORKSTATION?
HOW CAN I ADD MY NETWORK CARD DRIVER TO MY ISO FILE?
I really appreciate if you have any idea on this problem. I am really stuck!!!
There's an issue with the network adapter type being used for some reason. You can change the E1000 adapter to VMXNet3 to resolve the issue.
Alternatively, VMware does provide a pre-built OVA template for situations like this. The 7.0 version is available at the following: link

Trying to run VMWare Workstation on Google Cloud Platform instance?

Windows:
Now, I want to install a VMWare Workstation on the Windows Google Cloud Platform instance and next install another OS on that VMWare Workstation.
But I get this BSOD.
Linux:
Now, I want to install a VMWare Workstation on the Linux Google Cloud Platform instance and next install another OS on that VMWare Workstation.
But I get this error.
This host supports intel VT-x. but the Intel VT-x implementation is incompatible.
This host does not support Intel EPT hardware assisted MMU virtualization.
Module "CPUIDEarly" power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
How can I do it?
I agree with Martin that you may not want to run VMware workstation, but you may need nested virtualization for other stuff like VMware ESXi/qemu.
GCE VMs do support nested virtualization please see Enabling Nested Virtualization for VM Instances on how to do it. This will enable VT-x support inside the VM.
It is rather useless to install a type 2 (hosted) hypervisor inside a GCE virtual machine.
There are a) other options for VMware hosting or b) migrate these containers with Velostrata.
c) That one error message (assuming you'd go the proposed nested virtualization route) might require monitor.allowLegacyCPU = "true" in file config.ini, because it seems the CPU is not supported by VMware Workstation 14 (this at least works for some elder Intel® Xeon® CPU).

VMware Tool doesn't install

I have a virtual machine with Windows XP. And my host computer is on Windows 10. I'm using VMware version 14. I'm trying to setup a shared folder for my virtual machine and faced with an issue that Shared Folder doesn't appear on my VM. I've started investigate and found that VMware Tools are not installed on my VM. When I go Player -> Manage -> Install VMware Tools -> nothing happens. I don't see any pop-up windows with installation. It seems like virtual CD is inserted but nothing more. I can't see it in My Computer.
What did I miss?
Can you ping your XP VM from your Host Win 10 Machine?
If you couldn't ping your XP VM IP from your host machine, turn your firewall off on both machines and try to ping again.
Did you turn on your network discovery on your Windows 10 Machine and XP Machine?
If you can ping your VM from Host machine, turn on file and print sharing settings.

Can you install vmware server 2 on the Windows 8 preview?

Apologies if this has been asked already, searching the web reveals lots and lots of threads about installing the Win8 beta on VMware but not the other way around.
I am trying to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on a Windows 8 Preview machine. It appears to install correctly but I cannot then reach the web based homepage to configure virtual machines, i.e.
https://localhost:8333/ui/
gives the error that the "connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The website may be down or your network may not be properly configured".
Has anyone had any success running VMware Server 2.0.2 on Windows 8 Preview? If so were there any gotchas you needed to avoid?
I don't think it will ever be resolved. VMware Server was declared End Of Availability in January 2010; There will be no support for Windows 8.
Your best try would be trying launching the services in compatibility mode, but why would you do that? Why not use the much more advanced VMware Player or VMware Workstation products?
I've found a way to run it on Windows 8.
On my PC with a x64 version of Windows 8, when I installed VMware Server 2, I found there was a service called VMware Host Agent that cannot be run. When I opened the system Service Manager and clicked to launch this service, it gave me the error.
My solution is to create a service with the same command string and set it to start automatically by using the "sc create" command in cmd.exe. And it worked for me!

create a vm from host os using vmware -aka clone host os to vm guest image

This question must be a repeat since it sounds obvious but I cannot seem to find a solution online. I have win 7 x64 running vmware workstation. I need to create a guest vm which is a clone of my host os. (win 7 x64). Can this be done ? If yes please post the link or getting started solution or steps. Do not confuse with the clone feature in vm. That merely clones an existing guest vm so you can take it to another machine. thanks
The VMware Converter does what you want. I tested that sometime ago and it worked pretty good. But I think you need a second Windows license for that.
