Can the HoloLens Emulator run on my device?

Before installing the emulator, make sure your PC meets the following hardware requirements:

• 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education

• 64-bit CPU

• CPU with 4 cores (or multiple CPUs with a total of 4 cores)

• 8 GB of RAM or more

• In the BIOS, the following features must be supported and enabled:

  • Hardware-assisted virtualization

  • Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)

  • Hardware-based Data Execution Prevention (DEP)

• GPU requirements

  • DirectX 11.0 or later

  • WDDM 1.2 graphics driver or later (1st gen)

  • WDDM 2.5 graphics driver (HoloLens 2 Emulator)

  • The emulator might work with an unsupported GPU, but will be significantly slower

• You need to enable "Hyper-V" feature on your device before you can use the Emulator.

Windows 10 Home Edition does not support Hyper-V or the HoloLens Emulator. The HoloLens 2 Emulator requires the Windows 10 October 2018 update or later.
