Now, follow these steps
To create a virtual machine (VM) in Hyper-V and install
Windows Server 2019:

1. Set up Hyper-V: Ensure that your computer meets the
system requirements for Hyper-V and that it's enabled on
your Windows operating system. You can enable Hyper-V by
going to "Control Panel" -- "Programs" -- "Turn Windows features on or off" --
Check the box for "Hyper-V" -- Click "OK" and restart your computer if prompted.

2. Open Hyper-V Manager: Once your computer restarts, open
the Hyper-V Manager. You can do this by searching for
"Hyper-V Manager" in the Start menu.

3. Create a new virtual machine: In the Hyper-V Manager,
click on "New" -- "Virtual Machine" in the right-hand pane.

4. Specify the virtual machine name and location: Provide a
name for your virtual machine and choose a location to store
the virtual machine files. Click "Next" to proceed.

5. Specify the generation: Choose the generation for your
virtual machine. For Windows Server 2019, either Generation 1
or Generation 2 can be selected. Generation 2 is recommended
for newer operating systems.

6. Assign memory: Set the amount of memory (RAM) you want to
allocate to the virtual machine. For Windows Server 2019,
a minimum of 4 GB is recommended, but you can allocate more
if your host system has sufficient resources. Click "Next"
to continue.

7. Configure networking: Choose the virtual switch or network
connection for your virtual machine to access the network.
Select the appropriate option and click "Next".

8. Create a virtual hard disk: Select "Create a virtual hard
disk" and click "Next".

9. Specify the disk size: Set the size of the virtual hard disk.
The recommended minimum size for Windows Server 2019 is 40 GB,
but you can allocate more if needed. Choose a location to store
the virtual hard disk and click "Next".

10. Install an operating system: Select "Install an operating system
from a bootable image file" and click "Browse" to locate the Windows
Server 2019 ISO file you have. Choose the ISO file and click "Next".

11. Complete the wizard: Review the summary of your virtual machine
settings and click "Finish" to create the virtual machine.

12. Install Windows Server 2019: In the Hyper-V Manager, right-click
on the newly created virtual machine and click "Connect" to launch
the VM's console.

13. Start the virtual machine: In the VM's console, click "Start"
to power on the virtual machine.

14. Follow the Windows Server 2019 installation process: The virtual
machine will boot from the Windows Server 2019 ISO file. Follow the
on-screen instructions to install Windows Server 2019 within the
virtual machine.

15. Complete the installation: Once the installation is complete,
Windows Server 2019 will be running inside the virtual machine.

Remember to ensure that your computer meets the system requirements
for both Hyper-V and Windows Server 2019 to ensure optimal performance.
