The intention for Hyper-V is to run different Windows versions on the same executor. Right now it is impossible to run tests on i.e. Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, specifically

Hi everyone, I work on the windows images over here at CircleCI. Is the request for Hyper-V being enabled so you can run windows containers on our windows executors? If so you can do that right now.
Here is an example of a dockerfile for a build that was executed on our Windows 2019 Server executor that I helped a customer with. The base image is key.
Please let me know if your needs go beyond the ability to run a windows container on our windows executors. Thank you!

This is key for being able to run tests on different Windows versions through Windows Containers

juan.viotti@postman.com: Yup! Right now, with the current constraints there is less variety of windows operating systems. It would open up the possibility of covering wide range of users on desktop applications.

juan.viotti@postman.com: Are you looking to run older windows container OS images on our windows 2022 executor? We can run windows containers today on our windows executors however the container OS version has to match the host OS version. Please confirm. Thanks!

Michael Rothstein: We are interested on running tests on different Windows versions. Running Windows Containers where the OS version matches the host OS version does not require Hyper-V
