I am thinking about upgrading to windows professional so I can use hyper-v for creating a virtual machine to stick my dedicated game servers into. Such as 7dtd, Space Engineers, Colony survival, etc. I am mainly curious if there is any bonus to this. I had read before that running the dedicated server on the computer that would be playing said game does not grant any performance boost. I mainly do it so people can log on at anytime of day regardless of me being on the game. I do not know very much about virtual machines so any and all information would be appreciated.
