hi,

 

according description, may encounter problem amd cpu or hyper-v.

second, if computer compatible hyper-v, please check version of hyper-v.

 

if location in regional , language options set not us, , version of hyper-v not rtm version (6.0.6001.18016), find “new” option under “action” not exist.

 

you can install kb950050.exe fix issue. this hot fix update hyper-v rtm version. after installing, find “new” option under “action”. to download update, please refer following microsoft knowledge base article:
