    Hi Андрей Михалевский

    Do you mean turn on NUMA spanning in Hyper-V settings? NUMA spanning means Hyper-V will allocate memory from other remote physical NUMA nodes if the memory requirements for the virtual machine cannot be satisfied from a single node. Refer to this link for more details. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn282282(v=ws.11)

    Best Regards,
