Why each option
Hyper-V has fundamental requirements including a 64-bit operating system and specific hardware virtualization features enabled.
Hyper-V is a 64-bit hypervisor and requires a 64-bit edition of Windows Server (such as Windows Server 2008 or later) to function as the host operating system.
Hyper-V relies on hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP), which is typically identified as XD (Execute Disable Bit) for Intel processors or NX (No Execute Bit) for AMD processors, and this feature must be enabled in the server's BIOS or UEFI firmware.
While ample disk space is necessary for virtual machines, 140GB is an arbitrary figure and not a specific minimum requirement for the Hyper-V role itself to be installed.
While 2GB is a common minimum for many server operating systems, the question asks for Hyper-V requirements, and while more memory is crucial for hosting VMs, 2GB is not a strict minimum for the Hyper-V role installation, especially compared to the architectural necessities.
The processor's frequency (e.g., 2GHz) is less critical than the presence and enablement of specific virtualization features like Intel VT-x/AMD-V and hardware-enforced DEP.
