Hyper-V is a virtualization platform developed by Microsoft that allows users to create and manage virtual machines on their Windows operating systems.
To begin the Hyper-V setup, one must ensure that their system meets the necessary requirements. This includes having a compatible version of Windows installed, enabling virtualization in the BIOS settings, and having sufficient hardware resources such as RAM and disk space.
Users can start creating virtual machines using either Hyper-V Manager or PowerShell commands. It is important to allocate appropriate resources to each virtual machine based on its intended purpose. This includes assigning CPU cores, memory size, and storage space.
Additionally, network connectivity should be configured for each virtual machine to ensure proper communication within the network environment. This involves creating virtual switches and attaching them to specific network adapters.
