Is there any ability to enable Hyper-V role on Hyper-V virtual machine?

No. Hyper-V does not emulate the hardware virtualization features of the CPU that are required. Even if it did your would not like the performance of the nested Hyper-V VMs.

As far as I know, VMware virtual machines have components related to VMware virtualization such as VMware tools. I want to know if KVM virtual machine has KVM/QEMU related components
I have applied some windows updates on both my host (Windows 10) and my Hyper-V guest (Windows 10). After rebooting the hyper-v VM cant boot anymore displaying the message that there is no active boot item for booting from UEFI.
After some trail and error, the solution was to reinstall hyper-v on my windows 10 host.
Ensure that hardware virtualization support is turned on in the BIOS settings
Configure networking for the Hyper-V environment to support external network connections. Also ensure that a virtual switch has been created and is functional
Remove all security software and AV
System and drivers are up-to-date.
Also, try to use PowerShell command-line to enable Hyper-V.

I have a windows 10 host operating system that supports virtualization. Next, I have an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine I created using virtualbox. For development purposes, I need to create a virtual machine inside my guest Ubuntu virtual machine. Unfortunately, I can't enable VT-x option in my guest Ubuntu machine to create a create a virtual machine inside my Ubuntu guest. Any information on how enable VT-x option on my virtual box inside my virtual Ubuntu machine would be appreciated.
Edit: I had that this may be accomplished through PCI Passthrough for VirtualBox. If so please detail how.
Lastly, my problem is similar to this guy's but with exception I can't seem to create an UBuntu32bit box.
Any information on how enable VT-x option on my virtual box inside my virtual Ubuntu machine would be appreciated.
You simply CAN'T.
VT-x is a hardware capability:
In 2006, both Intel (VT-x) and AMD (AMD-V) introduced limited hardware virtualization support that allowed simpler virtualization software but offered very few speed benefits. Greater hardware support, which allowed substantial speed improvements, came with later processor models.
Since VT-x requires hardware capabilities to work, there's no way for the "outer" virtual machine in your nested VMs to provide that capability to the "inner" VM. The "outer" VM doesn't have any actual hardware.
If you have to run a VM inside your VM that requires some of the capabilities that VT-x provides - such as the ability to run a 64-bit OS - you can try QEMU for the "inner" virtual machines. It'll be slower since it's an emulator and not true virtualization, though.
Context: System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 server and Hyper-V 2012 host
A couple of quick questions:
Are the following equivalent: guest agent, host agent and VMM agent?
What does the VMM agent do? It is required for communication b/w the VMM server and the host? I know that this is a basic question but believe it or not, I haven't been able to find an explanation online...
Thanks

"Host agent" and "VMM agent" most likely refer to the "System Center Virtual Machine Manager Agent" service installed on a Hyper-V Host. "Guest Agent" is not as precise and rarely used, but probably means the set of Hyper-V services and devices installed on a guest VM as the "Hyper-V Integration Services".
From the "System Center: Virtual Machine Manager Engineering Blog" at Link
"As part of Hyper-V host addition, VMM installs an agent on the host machine. This agent communicates with the host using Windows Remote Management (WinRM) transport. We configure a listener for the ports that send and receive WS-Management protocol messages using either HTTP or HTTPS on any IP address"
From "Microsoft Hyper-V Integration Services" at Link
"Hyper-V Integration Services is a suite of utilities in Microsoft Hyper-V, designed to enhance the performance of a virtual machine's guest operating system. Hyper-V Integration Services optimizes the drivers of the virtual environments to provide end users with the best possible user experience. The suite improves virtual machine management by replacing generic operating system driver files for the mouse, keyboard, video, network and SCSI controller components. It also synchronizes time between the guest and host operating systems and can provide file interoperability and a heartbeat"
Host Agent is agent communication via SCVMM and the Hyper-v Host
Guest Agent sn Hyper-V Integration Services on the VM
VMM Guest is an agent deployed via VMM when provisioning a service
I'm running Server 2008 64bit with Hyper-V. I've created a virtual machine with Vista 64bit and installed it. I can't get the Vista virtual machine to see the network adapter.
I've set-up an external network on the Virtual Network Manager (Hyper-V) and associated that with the virtual machine (Vista). I've also tried using a Legacy Network Adapter but that didn't work either although that time the Vista machine saw the network card but couldn't connect through it.
This is (obviously) the first time I've tried to set-up a virtual machine.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I notice that this question has been voted down a couple of times. I know that it's not a programming question but I'm a developer setting up a virtual machine to test my C#/ASP.NET code on and thought that other developers may hit this problem as well when they're doing this...
I don't know Hyper-V, but I know in VMWare you can create a network connection in Bridged mode (meaning the VM will get it's own IP address via DHCP if that's enabled) or host-only mode (meaning the VM can only communicate with the host). When Vista could see the card, could it communicate with the host machine (which would indicate a host-only connection was specified)? What kind of IP address did it have (I would guess Hyper-V has a built-in DHCP server like VMWare does?) -- that might give additional clues.
Sorry I don't know Hyper-V better...
Make sure you have the Hyper-V Tools installed on the Guest VM. You shouldn't need the legacy adapter.
You also may want to make sure you have all of the latest updates which may have addressed your issue. Particularly, KB950050
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950050
It turns out that Vista x64 running as a VM through Hyper-V doesn't support the virtual network connection/card and that you have to set it up as a legacy network card. When I eventually got the config settings correct for the legacy network and disable the virtual network it connected.
Thanks for the help guys - much appreciated!
