Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see the 'New service request' button in the Microsoft 365 admin center?
The 'New service request' button is only visible to users with administrative roles, such as Global Admin or Support Admin. If you are a standard user, you will not see this option and must ask your IT administrator to open the support ticket on your behalf.
Where can I find community support specifically for Hyper-V issues?
You can find specialized guidance, forums, and community support for Hyper-V by visiting the Microsoft Virtualization Community Resources page at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/community/.
Can I create a support ticket for Hyper-V if I don't have a Microsoft 365 subscription?
If you do not have a Microsoft 365 business subscription, you cannot use the Microsoft 365 admin center. Instead, you should submit your request through the Azure portal (if running Hyper-V on Azure) or the standard Microsoft Support website for Windows Server or Windows Pro editions.
