Question Can someone let me know what this batch file does before I decide to run it

[fretyjl]

This is what the file shows when I click edit

pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\*Hyper-V*.mum >hyper-v.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . hyper-v.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
del hyper-v.txt
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V -All /LimitAccess /ALL
pause

I didn't, I installed it from here. I want to install Hyper V on my computer because I can't find it on my computer already and I need it to run an emulator.

MS will help you do this, not some unknown source:

I don't have Windows Enterprise or Pro so I wouldn't be able to.

You saw this, right?

"The Hyper-V role cannot be installed on Windows 10 Home."

Yes, I still require it and I don't want to pay for Windows 10 Pro for one feature. If you could just answer my initial question, I'd be very thankful.

According to the GitHub link I provided earlier, it does this:

"Install Container & Hyper-V in Windows 10 Home"

Be sure you have a backup of your system should this go awry.

I was planning to, thank you for the heads up.
