BoostCon (now known as C++Now)

2009: I am not aware of recordings for my talks "C++0x Support in Visual Studio 2010" and "The Parallel Patterns Library in Visual Studio 2010". You aren't missing anything, though.
2010: "Data Structure Visualizers in Visual Studio 2010" is irrelevant as the old visualizer machinery has been completely replaced by something much better (and documented).

Hyper-V in Windows 10 and Windows 11 Home Edition

Hyper-V in Windows 10 and Windows 11 allows running Virtual Machine. It is supported only in Pro, Enterprise and Education Edition of Windows 10 and Windows 11 by default. But this guide will show you how to enable it in Home Editions of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Check if virtualization is enabled:

Search for Command Prompt in Windows Start Menu and open it.
Type systeminfo and press Enter. Wait for the process to finish
Once the results appear, search for the Hyper-V Requirements section which is usually the last one.
- If it says A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed. that means Hyper-V is already enabled and there is no reason following this guide anymore.
Otherwise, check for Virtualization Enabled in Firmware:.
