Tip 01 <- - dfp ad #ad_inimage!>: Terms
Before we begin, the whole virtualization and Hyper-V happened quite a bit overwhelming. Therefore, we will first discuss some terms so that it is clear what we are talking about and hopefully better understand what virtualization is and what it can and can not
Virtual Machine:. a virtual machine is a machine that is installed in a virtual environment that mimics you hardware. This is “on top” of your normal operating system
Hypervisor:. the virtual machine running in a hypervisor. The hypervisor controls for each additional operating system that you install the access to the processor, graphics card, memory, disk, and ensures that the computer does not crash and that the virtual machine is independent of your main operating system.
Guest OS: each operating system that is installed in a hypervisor, a guest at your own operating system, so we call this logically a guest operating system or simply guest OS
<. span> Host OS : the operating system that you use yourself, the ‘host’, the host. This provides space for additional operating systems that you install and managed by the hypervisor itself.
virtual machine Restrictions
A virtual machine is handy to run old software, but you should be aware of some limitations. Firstly, the performance may vary between computers. We recommend only to put on a virtual machine if you have at least 4 GB of internal memory and a 64bit processor with at least 1.4 GHz. You will also have to reckon with that you can not use this virtual machine for old games: Hyper-V can not apply 3D acceleration, it is really meant for work applications – for which it also has very good use
Preparing the computer
Tip 02: Enabling Hyper-V
To enable Hyper-V actually, follow these steps. You open the control panel directly on the right page by right-clicking the start button and select Programs and Features . Left in the sidebar is the Turn Windows features on or off. If you click on it will open a new window. Check this list, select Hyper-V and click on OK . Windows will now install additional components and open an additional wizard that will search for the required files. With this process, we took a very short amount of time. Afterwards click on Restart Now to stop Hyper-V actually. The computer will restart twice again and configures the additional features.
Tip 03: Management setting
To actually install another operating system, we try to open the Hyper-V Manager. To do this open the Start menu, and type Hyper-V . The Hyper-V Manager appears. Click on it to open it. Left in the bar you will see your computer name under the Hyper-V Manager . That is, the host computer to your PC. Click your computer name, in our case we click so on APOLLO. There now appear right in picture options. See your computer is not left in the picture? Then right click on Connect to Server .
It opens a new dialog. Select Local Computer and click on OK . If all goes well, you are now connected to the Hyper-V service and you can see right to the Actions panel, with components such as Hyper-V settings and edit disc. If you get an error that the hypervisor is not running, you can still try the following: Right-click the Start button and choose the option Command Prompt (Administrator) Then run the following command. bcdedit / set hypervisorlaunchtype car , and press Enter. Then try again
Tip 04: Virtual disks
It is necessary to have sufficient disk space for the virtual machines that we’re going to install. For Windows 7 we recommend at least 40 GB. If you have multiple hard drives, it can be useful to place the virtual machines on that drive with the most space. Therefore you set the location of the virtual hard disks. Right-click in the Hyper-V Manager app (see tip 3) in Actions on the Hyper-V Settings . At the top option that automatically opens, named Virtual hard disks , you can click Browse to choose a folder where the disks should actually be placed.
