How to enable Hyper-V with Windows PowerShell?

Question

I tried this command:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

But, it will give me this feedback message:

'Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Used this as help: stackoverflow.com/questions/16859979/…

Try DISM instead:
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V

See more installation information here.

Thanks, Sarah. Only solution that worked for me. 99% of other solutions ask you to turn it on in BIOS or turn on in "Turn on Windows features on/off", but running this command in Powershell is the only thing that enabled hyper-v back on for me.

I think you have already found the answer, but I write it for next generation) Just run powershell console as Administrator. I am not archaeologist, I was just looking for string for enabling hyper-v.
