Less than 24 hours later, same thing happened again. Got to Windows 8.1 Pro, enabled HyperV, checked to see if I had the latest video drivers that Windows was complaining about, went off to do something else, and came back to see the Window 8 version of the Blue Screen Of Death. Starting to get familiar.
Third time, I was a bit more careful.
I concentrated on applying the automatic Windows 8 updates, then upgraded to Window 8 Professional, then enabled Hyper-V. Bam. Fortunately, this time a restore only went back to the point before the HyperV install and not back all the way to the factory settings, which is something to be pleased about, but this is the second computer I have had to remove HyperV from. This is hardly acceptable -- I never liked the idea of hyperV, but I had made the effort to create all my virtual machines for HyperV, and now here I am with two computers that crash if I try to use HyperV, and an external drive full of virtual images that I might not be able to use with other virtualisers?
Come on Microsoft. And I only just renewed my MSDN subscription. For shame.
And this nonsense about updating your drivers and it will all be OK. Tosh.
