Getting Xamarin to work on Windows 10 partition

Question

Sign in to vote
I had VS2017 on Windows 10 on a Virtual machine. Apparently Xamarin cannot be used on a virtual machine. I therefore want to load a new instalment of Windows 10 on a partition on the host computer. Will this (including Xamarin) work on a VHD created in disc management ? Thank you

There shouldn't be any problem running Xamarin in a VM in general (though it's not clear what you mean by "running Xamarin"). If you're running into a specific problem you should ask about that directly in the Xamarin forums at http://forums.xamarin.com .

Thank you for your prompt response -- you will find below the reason for my comment on Xamarain on a VM :

Pre-requisites

For targeting Windows and Android

See Visual Studio 2017 Product Family system requirements for detailed pre-requisites for installing Visual Studio 2017.

Install Visual 2017 on a physical Windows computer (not a virtual machine) running Windows 10 with all updates installed.
