How to Connect Hyper V Virtual Machine to Internet on Windows 10?

A short lab manual that shows you connect Hyper-V virtual Machine to the internet on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. In a virtualized environment for Server virtualization, you can access the internet as well.

In Hyper-v you can connect Hyper-v machines to the Internet with two methods that I’m going to explain all step by step. This article is for those, who know the basic of Server Virtualization with Hyper-v. If you don’t know about Hyper-v Virtualization software, I recommend you to read the previews articles of Hyper-V installation and configuration posts.

Install Hyper-V: Hyper-v Beginner: A Practical Guide to Virtualization. This post shows you how to install Hyper-v on Windows client 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2016.
Configure the essential Hyper-V settings: Essential Hyper-V Configuration. Explain the configuration of Hyper-v for beginner to create a virtualization testing Lab.
Hyper-v Virtual Switches

The virtual switch is a logical switch which connects virtual machines together. Currently, Hyper-v has three different types of the virtual switch which I told the preview article also.

External: Switch is used to connect the virtual machines to external network and Internet. The virtual machines (Guest) and Host will be on the same network.
Internal: Switch is used to create a network connection between guest machines and the host.
Private: The private switch is used to create a network connection between virtual machines only.

Thank you for a very succinct and easy to follow instructional video. I had viewed several videos on adding internet to a Hyper V machine but yours was definitely the best with regard to clarity.

Superb - thank you so much. All other descriptions on how to connect to the internet have failed. This works even running Windows 11 on a virtual machine.
