Question
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario exactly the same in each question in this series. Start of repeated scenario Your network contains a single Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All computers are members of the domain and run the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Enterprise. On a test computer named Computer_Test1, you pin several company-specific applications in a group named Contoso Apps, and then you export the start menu layout to a file named contoso.xml. You install Client Hyper-V on a computer named Computer6. You identity the following requirements:
- Install the Hyper V feature on a computer named Computer1.
- Use virtual smart card authentication on a computer named Computer2.
- Enable Secure Boot on a computer named Computer3.
- Connect a computer named Computer4 to a projector by using Miracast.
- Ensure that a user named User 1 can use keyboard shortcuts by
pressing one key at a time.
- Ensure that you can share the clipboard between Computer6 and the
virtual machines running on Computer6.
- Add the Contoso Apps group to the Start menu of a computer named
Computer7. End of repeated scenario. Which hardware component is required for Computer1?

Why each option
Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) is a mandatory CPU hardware capability required to install and run Client Hyper-V on Windows 10.
TPM is required for security features such as BitLocker and Windows Hello but is not listed as a hardware prerequisite for installing or running Client Hyper-V.
Trusted Boot is a Windows startup security mechanism that verifies OS integrity during the boot process and is not a hardware requirement for Client Hyper-V.
Client Hyper-V on Windows 10 explicitly requires a processor with SLAT support - implemented as Extended Page Tables (EPT) on Intel CPUs or Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI) on AMD CPUs - to efficiently map guest physical memory addresses to host physical addresses. SLAT is a documented, non-negotiable hardware prerequisite listed by Microsoft for Client Hyper-V installation.
Secure Boot is a UEFI firmware feature that validates bootloader signatures at startup and is not a required dependency for Client Hyper-V to function.
