Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education only.

I'm not sure, I don't use Home edition at work or home. Who is using Windows Home?

Anyone with $150 laptops

I mostly use Windows Home these days, with AD not making sense like it used to, Windows Home often ends up making more business sense in smaller businesses.

You found a laptop with Windows 10 Pro on it for $150-200? Nice find then. If you didn't, then you'll need to toss $50-100 on top of that price to upgrade to Pro. that's where I was driving too.
But it's still weird to me to have this single computer sitting in the corner of my desk to manage a Hyper-V host when I have a decent (I assume) desktop/laptop on my desk for all of the other management I do.

But can you install Hyper-V manager on Windows home edition to manage a Hyper-V host?

No Hyper-V manager is an RSAT tool I don't think it is available on Windows 10 Home.

You found a laptop with Windows 10 Pro on it for $200-300? Nice find then. If you didn't, then you'll need to toss $50-100 on top of that price to upgrade to Pro. that's where I was driving too.
But it's still weird to me to have this single computer sitting in the corner of my desk to manage a Hyper-V host when I have a decent (I assume) desktop/laptop on my desk for all of the other management I do.
I mean it takes all of 15 minutes on Newegg or Amazon. All that being said even if we're going by your numbers still you're looking at $300-400, I don't know where that $800 came from. Also I do everything from my management PC that I need to do, again this is personal preference.

That's what I would assume. That just sucks.
Windows Home can't install the Hyper-V role, either.

That's a long time. Fifteen minutes of my time definitely would make a better laptop make more sense

so you work from this machine all day long? You don't work from a domain joined PC? Why do you even have a domain then?
