Windows Hyper-V Virtual Machine Tutorial

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can use Microsoft Hyper-V to create virtual machines. Hyper-V enables running virtualized computer systems on top of a physical host. These virtualized systems can be used and managed just as if they were physical computer systems, however they exist in virtualized and isolated environment. Special software called a hypervisor manages access between the virtual systems and the physical hardware resources. Virtualization enables quick deployment of computer systems, a way to quickly restore systems to a previously known good state, and the ability to migrate systems between physical hosts.

Great job as usual Kevin for explaining what might appear as Hyper-complex :-) Please keep up the great job !

[UndeadBoogie]

I did this a long time ago and needed a quick refresher for a job interview. This video was perfect, thank you!

As a fellow MSFT Alumni (complete with my yearly MS Store credit!), it is a pleasure watching your channel continue to thrive and grow. You style is outstanding. Rock on, Kevin.

Thanks Kevin. This is interesting to work with one computer but different operating systems. Hyper V is very useful. Hats of Kevin :)

[WickedWench]

Thank you for the great video, Kevin. I am getting ready to try to install a Windows XP 32 bit virtual machine on my Windows 10 Pro laptop and your video helped me know what to expect once I finish. Both your speaking and action speed were perfect. Not so fast I was forced to keep rewinding just to make out what you say like many of the videos I've tried to watch.

An excellent and helpful presentation in a short time. Great job Kevin.

[kevmorris]

[myassin]

Thanks Kevin! Your videos are amazing. I learnt a lot from you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nice reminder about VMs. Even more so if you have limited space for PCs are home, easy to merely create a VM. The only other thing I would have added to this video was the location of the files for the VM, and the location of the virtual hard drive for the VM. Another great video...

[strokerace]

Thank you for making such a great video. This content is what I’ve been looking for for a few weeks now refreshingly will explain, I’ll be back for more !

Cheers!

BIOS CHECK: you CAN see if Virtualization is turned on by going into the Task Manager on the CPU tab under "Performance." below the graphs, you can see specs on the chip, including cache sizes and whether or not Virtualization is enabled.

Great video. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you.

[schweppescreamsoda]

Good stuff. Very educational and informative. Straight to the point.

[UnpopularOpinionSports]

Not sure why, but i've listened to a ton of people talk about this information & you do the best job for my neurodivergent brain to understand it. Thanks man, you're helping me big time

[Dr.MichaelHabib]

This is awesome. Thank you Kevin. Keep it up buddy.

[bretttanner]

Great video and thanks for creating such a vsluable tutorial for those of us looking to explore virtual machines.

[MalcomLow]

Was trying to resolve the problem of enabling the Hyper-V feature until saw your segment on the BIOs part. Thanks for tip! Got it resolved!

[jrodriguez]

Great video Kevin. Was just reading about this and wanted to see it in action.
