The Hyper-V role lets you create and manage virtualized computing environments. Hyper-V is built into recent Windows operating systems as an optional feature and includes two independent components:

1. The management components for managing Hyper-V hosts.
   Management tools include Hyper-V Manager for virtual machine management, Virtual Machine Connection for interactive connections to the virtual machine UI, and Hyper-V-specific cmdlets for Windows PowerShell.

2. The virtualization platform for running virtual machines.
   Platform tools include the hypervisor, WMI provider, and other necessary virtualization components such as the virtual machine bus (VMbus), virtualization service provider (VSP) and virtual infrastructure driver (VID).

If you want to run and manage virtual machines on your machine you will need to enable both the platform and management tools. Very few people enable one without the other.

If you use Server Manager to install the Hyper-V role, the management tools are included unless you specifically exclude them. If you use Windows PowerShell to install the Hyper-V role, the management tools are not included by default. To install the tools, use the parameter –IncludeManagementTools. For instructions about installing the Hyper-V role, see Install Hyper-V and Configure a Virtual Machine.
