The primary hurdle for running Xpenology DSM 7 on Hyper-V is driver compatibility. Synology’s kernel is highly customized and compiled for specific Linux kernels that prioritize VMware, KVM, and bare-metal hardware. Hyper-V, while dominant in the Windows server world, relies on the hv_utils and hv_storvsc drivers for optimal virtual device performance. Out-of-the-box, Xpenology bootloaders (such as RedPill or ARC Loader) often lack native support for Hyper-V’s synthetic network adapters (Hyper-V Network Virtualization). This frequently results in the infamous “No network interfaces found” error during installation.
