#hyper-v manager

There are more IT shops using Microsoft’s Hyper-V than ever before. Thanks in part to Broadcom’s shenanigans with the licensing after they purchased VMware, more are considering making the change every day. One challenge that causes organizations to pause when considering Hyper-V is the apparent lack of centralized host management. It’s true, Hyper-V doesn’t include a direct vCenter equivalent…

Learn how to enable Hyper-V on Windows 11 and convert your physical PC into a Hyper-V VM using Microsoft VMC.

Convert Physical PC to Hyper-V VM via Microsoft VMC Hyper-V is a powerful feature in Windows 11 that allows you to create and run virtual machines (VMs) on your PC. With Hyper-V, you can run multiple operating systems, including different versions of Windows and Linux, all on one device. It’s a handy tool for IT pros, developers, and anyone who wants to test software in a virtual environment…

сегодня хотел поговорить с тобой гипервизорах очень интересная тема и несколько лет назад был произведет существенный шаг в сторону гипервизоров и все…

I like to keep up to date with the latest Microsoft technologies and generally have a number of test environments running on my home computer. These test environments grant me the ability to create different "virtual" machines each with their own unique Operating Systems and programs without effecting my main computer. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit through a Window Server 2016 preview and thought I might like to get my hands on the new fledgling OS to see what I could glean from it. This is the second part of a multi part series running through the setup of a virtual environment on Windows 10 and the installation of Windows Server 2016 Essentials Tech Preview 3 on the newly established Hyper-V environment.

PREREQUISITES: 

Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise 64 bit Operating System 64 bit processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) 4 GB system Ram at minimum BIOS-level Hardware Virtualization support

Now that we have Hyper-V installed on our Windows 10 environment we will move forward on creating our first virtual machine. The first task in setting up our virtual instance is to establish the network connection that it will need to be attached to. The Hyper-V virtual switch, which is what we will be using here for our virtual machine, is a software based ethernet network switch which is available directly through Hyper-V manager. This software switch will "programmatically" (microsoft's word not mine) allow you to manage your network when connecting to your virtual machines either through virtual or physical networks. We will get into the benefits of virtualization at a later date but what this means is that we are going to virtualize our internet connection much like we are going to virtualize our new machine. First, we will start by opening our Hyper-V manager. This can be done easily by typing Hyper in the search box next to the Windows Start icon.

You will be presented with the Hyper-V manager window. 

Next, we will create our first Virtual Network connection. In the right hand column click on "Virtual Switch Manager" 

We will now be presented with the "Virtual Switch Manager" window for our current working environment. In my case my host machine is called SilverMoo (this links back to my early years with a Gateway box and the pretty little cow spots that came with it) 

From here we will select if we want an "External", "Internal" or "Private" switch. For my setup I will create an external switch. I will proceed this way because I want my virtual machine to reach my actual physical network so it can talk with the world wide web. So select "External" and then click "Create Virtual Switch" 

(stay with us this gets wordy - ed.) The next window will allow you to Name your new virtual switch and select the "external network". This area will also allow you to set up your VLAN if you so choose. I'm going simple here so we will avoid the "VLAN ID" section, leave this checkbox unchecked. I have selected the Netgear WNDA4100 N900 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter, aka my wireless network card, and I'm selecting "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter". This check box will allow both your virtual machine and your physical box to share the same network adapter. Unless you have two Network cards in your computer this is how you will want your Virtual Switch setup. If you don't know what I mean here by Network Card you most likely only have one. NOTE: the "External Network" drop down will have a different name depending on your computers setup. 9 times out of 10 the preselected option, the Netgear in my case, is the one you will want to choose. After the "External Network" has been selected, the "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" checkbox has been checked and the "Name" has been given to your Virtual Switch click "OK".

After clicking "OK" you will be brought back to the Virtual Switch Manager with your newly implemented "Virtual Switch" in the left hand column. 

Click "OK" again to be returned to the Hyper-V Manager which we will use to install and setup our new OS in Part III.

This is the first part of a multi part series running through the setup of a virtual environment on Windows 10 and the installation of Windows Server 2016 Essentials Tech Preview 3 on the newly established Hyper-V environment. Since the introduction of Windows 8 users have had the ability to run Windows Hyper-V for free on their home computers. According to the source that all good college papers are derived Wikipedia :

Hyper-V, codenamed Viridian and formerly known as Windows Server Virtualization, is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems. Starting with Windows 8, Hyper-V supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT.

This is just a fancy way of saying that Hyper-V allows you to create a stand alone "computer" and run it along side your current Windows Desktop. In order to use Hyper V you must first meet the following requirements:

 PREREQUISITES: 

Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise 64 bit Operating System 64 bit processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) 4 GB system Ram at minimum BIOS-level Hardware Virtualization support

To determine the last prerequisite you can check if your CPU supports virtualization from here, for Intel chips, and here for an AMD. (NOTE: the AMD link will download a utility that will check the status for you - ed.). After you have verified that your computer can run Hyper-V you can start the simple process of installing the feature: First, go to Programs and Features by clicking the windows icon on your main desktop, found in the bottom left hand corner of your screen, and then typing "Programs and Features" in the text box. Click on "Programs and Features" when it is displayed

When presented with the next screen click on "Turn Windows features on or off" located on the left hand portion of the window. 

Within the next window you will see a Folder called "Hyper-V". By clicking on the + next to the folder it will drop down and display another two folders. put a check mark on these folders by clicking the box next to them. Then click "OK"

From here Windows will begin to install the Hyper-V service on your machine. This can take a while to complete (according to the Windows pop up box). Once this process has finished click on the windows button in the bottom left hand corner of your main desktop again and then type in "Hyper-V". Click on the icon labeled "Hyper-V Manager" 

The next window you will be presented with is the manager itself. We will use this in the next walkthrough to install the OS, virtual switching and log into our new virtual "computer".
