I didn't think Hyper-V was available on Windows 10 Home Edition; has this changed or was it always available?

  It's not. It's possible Microsoft is making an exception for WSL2, but I highly doubt the user will be able to run arbitrary VMs on HyperV without a Pro edition of Windows.

    According to others in this thread, if HyperV is enabled then the windows host actually partially runs on HyperV (which is part of the reason you can't use other hypervisors with HyperV turned on). The running theory is that they want HyperV on for all installs (like turned on by default).

    Windows Virtual Machine platform is on Home, not Hyper-V itself.
