Installation requirements

Windows 10 SDK is best run on Windows 10 systems. Windows 10 SDK also supports Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2. Note that not all tools can be supported by the old system. Visual Studio 2015 also has hardware requirements.

The HoloLens simulator is based on Hyper-V and RemoteFx hardware graphics acceleration. To use the simulator, make sure your simulator meets the following requirements:

64-bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education system (Hyper-V is not supported in the home version)

64-bit CPU

8 GB or more memory

In BOIS, the following features must be supported and enabled:

Hardware Virtualization (Hardware-assisted virtualization)

Second-level address translation (Second Level Address Translation (SLAT))

Hardware-based data execution prevention (Hardware-based Data Execution Prevention (DEP))

GPU (the simulator may be able to run with an unsupported GPU, but it will be slow)

DirectX 11.0 or later

WDDM 1.2 driver or UPDAT

Problem diagnosis

When you install the simulator, you may see the following error: "Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 and UWP tools version 1.2".

There may be two reasons for the error:

You do not have VS 2015 Update 1 or Update 2 installed, you can follow the prompts to install the latest Update 2.

You installed VS 2015 Update 1 or newer Update, but did not enable or install UWP development tools. You need to enable this feature when you install VS.
