Windows – Does Hyper-V support nested virtualization on AMD CPUs with AMD-V

hyper-vvirtualizationwindowswindows 10

Some article published on 2015 stated that Windows 10 preview versions weren't supporting nested virtualization on AMD-V AMD CPUs.

Now I've tried to enable nested virtualization on my up-to-date Windows 10 and once I try to run a Windows 10 Hyper-V VM an error message is thrown stating that nested virtualization isn't supported on this platform.

My CPU is an AMD Athlon II X3 with AMD-V.

Any insights on this?

[You need] An Intel processor with VT-x and EPT technology.

So no, it's not (yet?) supported on AMD CPUs.
