ESXi has trial model you can renew indefinitely and also a free limited license that is adequate for XPe.  In terms of hypervisors and XPe, ESXi has best support, followed by ProxMox and KVM, and there have been a few historical posts about Xenserver.

 

Hyper-V has problems, we generally say it doesn't work due to lack of virtual network card support, although I did see some posts discussing some progress with Server 2019 recently.  I didn't dig into very deeply but it suggests that perhaps that version has a new network model that is more compatible.  I still recommend ESXi however.

Thanks. Just didn’t want to add another thing to be on top of every 60 days. Do you know if it’ll work on this hardware?

what sort of issues? I just installed hyper v on my laptop to test. I followed this video and was able to install 6.0.2-8451.
