I recently bought a Windows 8 laptop just for the sake of developing Windows Phone Apps. Mine is not a Pro version hence Hyper-V does not run. (I realized that Hyper-V needs WinPro after I bought the laptop).

I am not capable of upgrading to pro edition. Can anyone please suggest me any alternatives to Hyper-V where my emulator can run? Thanks.
