Install Hyper V Windows 10 Home
Donnell Simon
Follow this guide if you already are running a supported virtual machine hypervisor. If you are not familiar with virtual machines, install Home Assistant OS directly on a Home Assistant Yellow, a Raspberry Pi, or an ODROID.
To install Home Assistant CoreHome Assistant Core is the heart of Home Assistant itself. It is a Python program that powers every installation type, but can be installed standalone.[Learn more] on Windows, you will need to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Follow the WSL installation instructions and install Ubuntu from the Windows Store.
As an alternative, Home Assistant OS can be installed in a Linux guest VM. Running Home Assistant CoreHome Assistant Core is the heart of Home Assistant itself. It is a Python program that powers every installation type, but can be installed standalone.[Learn more] directly on Windows is not supported.
This is an advanced installation process, and some steps might differ on your system. Considering the nature of this installation type, we assume you can handle subtle differences between this document and the system configuration you are using. When in doubt, please consider one of the other installation methods, as they might be a better fit instead.
Add an account for Home Assistant Core called homeassistant.Since this account is only for running Home Assistant Core the extra arguments of -rm is added to create a system account and create a home directory.
Once you have activated the virtual environment (notice the prompt change to (homeassistant) homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $) you will need to run the following command to install a required Python package.
Start Home Assistant Core for the first time. This will complete the installation for you, automatically creating the .homeassistant configuration directory in the /home/homeassistant directory, and installing any basic dependencies.
When you run the hass command for the first time, it will download, install and cache the necessary libraries/dependencies. This procedure may take anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes. During that time, you may get a site cannot be reached error when accessing the web interface. This will only happen the first time. Subsequent restarts will be much faster.

I knew that docker won't work on windows 10 home edition. It will work in windows 10 pro or enterprise as it need hyper v and it is available in these two. But I found some script for hyper v and able to install and enable hyper v in window 10 home. So is it better to install ubuntu as a virtual environment and install docker over there. or the windows 10 home with hyper v enabled will be good enough to install docker.Please help me to understand this.
Your setup may differ - but I created these directories and placed a copy of the downloaded file here. A copy, because I have re-used the base file on more than one VM and have retained it for future use.
Thanks for doing this. I wish it existed back when I started my Hyper-V journey. One thing to note for any users planning to do an HA installation with Hyper-V is that most Z-Wave controllers are USB and Hyper-V cannot map through a USB port. I found excellent software call USB Redirector that allows you to bring your USB ports over to the VM. If anyone needs help with that, send me a message.
If you have windows server I could also suggest installing docker. Windows server has native support for docker containers. Though you will need a docket enterprise license for that to work. Good news, because Windows Server Standard and Datacenter editions have a free docker enterprise license included (no need to add this anywhere).
I believe with docker it is possible to give the containers usb support (not entirely sure). Had been using hyper-v for 10 years now and I recently switched to esxi as I needed real usb passthrough which as most of you know is not possible with Hyper-V.
Ive managed to deploy Hass.IO into hyper-v and restore my backup. How do i use this USB Re-director to plumb into my Hyper-V hass.io and what needs to be configured on Hass.IO to pick up the USB device >?
Now you should be able to see the devices. You can query using usbclnt -list to see attached devices. If everything worked, you should find a new device in /dev. Mine is called TTYACM0. From here configure OZW using the new device.
Thank you for your briliant manual. I had only one issue during instalation. Active internet connection is required, as usually no virtual pc has access to internet, booting of HomeAsisstant was stuck before any application start and waiting for internet connection without any warning.
Docker Desktop's functionality remains consistent on both WSL and Hyper-V, without a preference for either architecture. Hyper-V and WSL have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your specific set up and your planned use case.
Containers and images created with Docker Desktop are shared between alluser accounts on machines where it is installed. This is because all Windowsaccounts use the same VM to build and run containers. Note that it is not possible to share containers and images between user accounts when using the Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend.
Running Docker Desktop inside a VMware ESXi or Azure VM is supported for Docker Business customers.It requires enabling nested virtualization on the hypervisor first.For more information, seeRunning Docker Desktop in a VM or VDI environment.
From the Docker Desktop menu, you can toggle which daemon (Linux or Windows)the Docker CLI talks to. Select Switch to Windows containers to use Windowscontainers, or select Switch to Linux containers to use Linux containers(the default).
Getting Started with Windows Containers (Lab)shows you how to use theMusicStoreapplication with Windows containers. The MusicStore is a standard .NET application and,forked here to use containers, is a good example of a multi-container application.
If you set proxies or daemon configuration in Windows containers mode, theseapply only on Windows containers. If you switch back to Linux containers,proxies and daemon configurations return to what you had set for Linuxcontainers. Your Windows container settings are retained and become availableagain when you switch back.
--admin-settings: Automatically creates an admin-settings.json file which is used by admins to control certain Docker Desktop settings on client machines within their organization. For more information, see Settings Management.
--always-run-service: After installation completes, starts com.docker.service and sets the service startup type to Automatic. This circumvents the need for administrator privileges, which are otherwise necessary to start com.docker.service. com.docker.service is required by Windows containers and Hyper-V backend.
As an IT administrator, you can use endpoint management (MDM) software to identify the number of Docker Desktop instances and their versions within your environment. This can provide accurate license reporting, help ensure your machines use the latest version of Docker Desktop, and enable you toenforce sign-in.
Every major release of Windows comes in a few editions, or SKUs, which have different features. Windows 11 is no different, with multiple SKUs like Windows 11 Home, Pro, Enterprise, and so on. Many of these editions have certain exclusive features that aren't available on the lower-tier editions, and one major example is Hyper-V. However, it's actually possible to install Hyper-V on Windows 11 Home, and we're here to show you how.
Hyper-V was first implemented with Windows Server 2008, and it's been part of Windows ever since. It's Microsoft's hypervisor software, which allows you to create and run virtual machines (VM) on your PC. VMs let you create isolated instances of an operating system that don't affect your host PC. There are a few options for virtualization software out there, but Hyper-V is native to Windows, so it's ideal if you're managing Windows VMs.
This guide also works for Windows 10. Unfortunately, installing Hyper-V doesn't enable Windows Sandbox, which is another cool virtualization feature in Windows that lets you create a clean copy of your current Windows version so that you can test software on it. It has a slightly different use case since it only duplicates your current Windows version and not any OS you want. Plus, Windows Sandbox is reset every time you close it. It's really just meant for quickly testing a specific app or setting without damaging your PC.
Using Hyper-V, you can create virtual machines using your own ISO files, or you can choose one of the options provided by Microsoft. The company actually offers the ability to create an Ubuntu virtual machine right out of the box. Virtual machines are persistent unless you choose to delete them, so there are certainly different applications for them compared to Windows Sandbox.
I've currently got the XG HE installed on a Windows Server 2019 Host and it's working perfectly but I'm in the process of changing host and due to other limitations to do with the GPU my host needs to be Windows 10 (at least for now). When I try to move the internet conncetion to the new host the connection stays live for about half an hour and then disconnects. Sometimes it will stay live for up to 8 hours but it always drops the connection. The only way I've been able to get it back is to restart he VM.
I've tried setting the DNS settings to match my older XG and I've rebuild the XG on the new host as well as on the older host. Newer host drops the connection, older host keeps the connection going with out fail.
Thank you for getting back to me. I'm sorry I should have included this in my orginal post. I have already set the Power Settings to never sleep and changed the Link State Power Management setting to "off" (see attached image).
