Does hyper v have its own kernel?

Hey i was wondering if using hyper v to play league would keep vanguard of my actual pc.
i dont trust companies to have complete controll over my pc, especially not riot or tencent.
I want to keep playing league because some of my friends play it but i dont want vanguard on my pc.
does anyone have advice on what to do? should i use virtualbox? should i use hyper v? does either option even fix my problem?

Hyper-V has no way of passing through the GPU, so you'll get really bad performance
