To enable Nested Ventilation on the Hyper-V host (server 2016 RTM or Windows 10 1607) run the two cmdlets below:

Before you run them:

1. Shut down the VM
2. Change the VM name to match your VM In the cmdlet below.
3. Give the VM enough memory ( I recommend minimum 2GB)

Set-VMProcessor -VMName 2016rtm -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName 2016rtm | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -MacAddressSpoofing On

Once done, Start the VM and Install Hyper-V using the two cmdlets below:

Add-WindowsFeature hyper-v

Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools

Reboot the VM and create a Virtual Machine Inside the VM.
