You will be able to set the default environment to be Hyper-V on or Hyper-V off so select which one you will use more frequently as the default.

			# Turn Hyper-V ON
			## Open the Control Panel
			## Open the Programs and Features section of the control panel
			## Navigate to "Turn Windows Features On or Off"
			## Make sure all Hyper-V components are unchecked as shown below.
			## Click "OK".
			## Close all windows.
			# Open an elevated command prompt
			# View your current boot settings
			## bcdedit /enum
			# Make a copy of your current boot settings to a new option called "Hyper-V Off"
			## bcdedit /copy {default} /d "Hyper-V Off"
			# Copy the new GUID (including the curly braces) for the "Hyper-V Off" option to your clipboard. The GUID is displayed between curly braces after the previous command completes.
			# Modify the "Hyper-V Off" boot option to disable the hypervisor
			## bcdedit /set {guid-goes-here} hypervisorlaunchtype off
			##*Where {guid-goes-here} is replaced by the actual GUID you copied above from your new "Hyper-V Off" boot option.
			# View your current verbose boot settings
			## bcdedit /enum /v
			# Adjust the default boot option to use Hyper-V off if that's what you'd like by default
			## bcdedit /default {guid-goes-here}
			##*Where {guid-goes-here} is replaced by the actual GUID of the environment you want to boot by default.

Some ITC courses require the use of Microsoft's Hyper-V (notably the Microsoft Server courses), other courses require VMware Workstation (notably CCNA Voice to run the CUCM and CUC software). Windows 8 also includes Hyper-V so it is more likely to find it enabled on clients in the future.

If you try to install VMware on a system which already has Hyper-V installed you will get an error stating that they are incompatible. In this case you have two choices...

=Option 1: Remove Hyper-V=
If you do not need access to Hyper-V and VMware at the same time the cleanest thing is to only have one installed at a time. You can remove the Hyper-V feature/role from your system as described below.

==Removing Hyper-V from Windows 8==
# Open the Control Panel
# Open the Programs and Features section of the control panel
# Navigate to "Turn Windows Features On or Off"
# Make sure all Hyper-V components are unchecked as shown below.
# Click "OK".
# Close all windows.

=Option 2: Create a Boot Option Environment=
You will not be able to run VMware and Hyper-V at the same time. However, it is possible to have them both available on the same system and switch back and forth between them using a simple reboot of the system.
