I fully admit that I stopped reading the thread about 5 posts in. But I did and do have an XS and XO system currently running that I just haven't migrated away from XS yet. I'm at the point where I could use ESXi free and never be able to tell the difference other than some scripts would need modified. I'd also have a wider range of tools to use. No templates is a bit one for me. Is that still the case with the web ui? I though the only limitation these days was the backup API. Yeah, you need vcenter for templates

 Setup new server gave it a name and IP connected to it via HperV Manager on Windows 10 Pro machine:-

 Do I try KVM? 
 Or go straight to what I know and XenServer?
- 
 Am I right in thinking KVM is not a type 1 hypervisor as in install on the host from a iso? 
 You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM.
- 
 @hobbit666 KVM is already built in to the fedora-branch of distros. Not sure about Ubuntu, but I would imagine so. Just have to set it up.I would also imagine that the Linux environment that you set up for initial installation would be considered Dom0.

 You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM.Why would the way you install it not make it a type 1? When you install it on a Linux distribution the distribution becomes a VM on top of KVM. It's similar, but different, to how Xen and Hyper-V work.

 If it then changes the way the machine runs then yes it might be a type1 my only exposer to KVM is seeing it mentioned my only exposer to KVM is seeing it mentioned
