Windows client versions compared to server versions & Hyper-v

Interesting comparison:

Vista ~ Windows Server 2008
Windows 7 ~ Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows 8 ~ Windows Server 2012
Windows 8.1 ~ Windows Server 2012 R2

This appears to be true, because I have installed Server 2012 R2 on an old Dell XPS 720 that has (hardware-assisted virtualization - VMX) but does not have SLAT (second layer address translation - EPT) and Hyper-V will not run.  But I think that Hyper-V would run in Windows Server 2008 R2.

Used a MS utility called coreinfo.exe   to determine if the processor can handle Hyper-V.

Will keep chugging at it. .
