Hyper-v Enable Vt-X for Guest in Guest

Is it possible to enable vt-x for a Hyper-V guest?

I need to run a 64 bit guest inside of a 64 bit guest.

I don't believe that you can run Hyper-V within a guest as there is already a hypervisor running. (Pretty sure it tells you this if you try and install the hyper-v role).

I think your just going to have to run these other machines on the host server.

Now you can; you got to run this in an admin powershell console, on a stopped vm.

Set-VMProcessor -VMName <vm name> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true
