After installing the above download, go to Windows Features in Control Panel and choose the 'Role Administration Tools'. Select Hyper-V Tools from there.

The Remote Administration tools can be downloaded here. It includes Hyper-V manager but must be enabled in the Windows Feature activation in the control panel.
