My brand new laptop OS is windows 8.1 64 bit , X-64 based proccer, yet when I try to use the windows phone 8 emulator I recive an error "windows phone emulator requires hyper-v. your PC is missing the following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V: Windows 8 Professional (64-bit)"
I looked up in "Turn some windows features on/off" and I couldn't find the option but I know my PC support Hyper-V.
Do I have to replace my OS, or is there a way to solve it? If thereisn't a way, maybe you know another emulator software you can suggest?
As Paul said, you have to have Windows 8 Professional in order to turn on hyper-v.

I have downloaded Windows Phone sdk and but it gave me an error about Hyper-V and asked me to restart. I restarted the computer and start a new windows phone 8 project and when I debug it gave me this error.
Can't start Windows Phone Emulator
The Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V. Your PC is missing the following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V
- Windows 8 Professional (64 bit)
Is there any way I could get this work?
The system requirements documentation for the windows Phone 8 emulator states that you need a 64-bit version of Windows 8 Pro edition or higher. I suspect you do not have a Pro edition.
You can still develop apps for Windows Phone 8 on a non-Pro edition, but you can't use the emulator - you have to debug on a registered Windows Phone 8 phone.
just do a simple task
go this path
Control Panel --> Program And Features --> Turn Windows features on or off --> Be Sure That Hyper-V has been checked
now restart your computer
To allow Hyper-V (assuming you have a windows 8.1 Pro or windows 10 pro)
Go to cmd, run it as admin and tape the following :
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
To turn it off (Because you will quickly get into some problems while not debugging)
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
I am trying to run my application on the Windows Phone 8 emulator on my laptop running Windows 8.1. When I start the emulator, I get this message: The Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V. Your PC is missing the following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V: Windows 8 Professional (64-bit)
I am already paying Microsoft to publish Windows Phone apps, I already paid them for my phone, and for Surface which does have Windows 8 Pro. Is there any way to run the emulator on my development computer without paying them to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro? (or getting it by shadier methods)
I checked to see if Hyper-V was listed in Windows Features, and it was not.
You need Hyper-V to run Windows Phone 8 emulator images since they are exactly that - images. They are not emulators like Windows Phone 7 emulators and they are only available on SLAT supporting processors and in Windows 8 64-bit.
If you have Surface Pro, you can develop on it. I managed to do that. If you have the normal Surface (not the pro version), you cannot run your development environment on it.

Waiting........!!!!!!!!!
You should be using Windows 8 pro to make it work.
The short story is: I have my laptop that has a processor without Virtualization and Second Level Adress Translation capabilities that are required for running the new Windows Phone 8 SDK.
I can however use the windows phone 7.1 sdk, but for testing my apps i will use a windows phone 8 device.
Is it possible to deploy and test my apps on the connected WP8 device, altough i am using the 7.1 SDK that predates the WP8 os?
I don't think it's possible to deploy apps using WP7.1 SDK on WP8 devices, however, you can install the Visual Studio 2012 + Windows Phone 8 SDK (if you have Windows 8 x64) even when you don't have SLAT enabled CPU. The Windows Phone 8 SDK will work, only you won't be able to launch the WP8 emulator.
No you cannot, The .xap packing mechanism in Windows phone 7.1 and 8 are different so you cannot deploy this xap using deployment tool. But, if we are using windows 8 + wp8 dev tools you can debug the application that developed on 7.1. In future after the launch of wp 7.8 ms may provide a solution for this. for now there is no other alternative is available in front of you
Is there a way to create and test an app (emulator for windows phone 8) in visual studio 2012 and windows 7? I got all the proper SDKs etc from Dreamspark but I cannot seem to find a way to do it in windows 7. It's only "doable" in windows 8?
probably not, Microsoft only released it for Windows 8, but you can always have a virtual machine and Dreamspark also has licenses for Windows, so you won't have any issues with that neither.
No. Running the WP8 emulator on Win7 won't work. The WP8 emulator is based on Hyper-V which isn't supported on Win7. You can still develop WP8 apps on WIn7 and deploy to a real device. Or you should upgrade your Win7 installation to Win8 using your fre dreamspark license and then you could use the WP8 emulator.
No, the WP8 SDK will only run on Windows 8.A reason is the hypervisor in Windows 8 is used to emulate or virtualise Windows phone 8 machines. That and marketing of course.
