So a couple things: 1. Hyper-V cannot be run on Windows 7. Simple as that. You must have Windows 8 or a Server 2008+ 2. Your passive aggressive tone is uncalled for. 3. If you actually read the documentation about the Hyper-V provider located at (https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/hyperv/index.html) you would see that your "problem" is clearly addressed. 4. Vagrant is open source. If you don't like the documentation or consider it "light and vapid", feel free to submit a pull request with updates.
