Good question on which edition supports virtualization, so i looked it up. There is a downloadable table on the compare editions page, its located here in PDF:

http://wincom.blob.core.windows.net/documents/Win10CompareTa...

On there it indicates that Hyper-V comes with Pro or above. So basically only Windows 10 Home doesn't seem to have it.

That same confusing document also lists 'Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)' as a feature that doesn't exist on Pro. Is having Hyper-V sufficient? What actually is the 'App-V' feature listed? (It comes in a 'management' section, so it is unclear if it is about managing apps or just letting them run in the first place).

Still very confusing...

Hyper-V is sufficient. (Hyper-V is the virtualization hypervisor that runs virtual machines; App-V is an Enterprise-targeted application container management system/tool.)
