When finished, click Next. Give your VM a name on the next page. It doesn't really matter what you name it, and it can be re-named later. You can also set a location for it on your hard drive.
If you don't have a preference, the default location is fine. The next screen will ask how much of your hard drive you want to allocate to your VM.
You can adjust this to your liking, but the recommended is usually more than enough. You'll be brought to a review of your VM. On this screen, you can click "Customize Hardware" to give your VM a bit more power. You will need to know your PC hardware in order to properly customize this without making it in-operable. However, the default settings are typically enough to perform basic functions of the OS.
When you are all done, click "Finish", and VMWare will begin preparing your virtual machine. The first page will have you select a version, click next, and it will begin installing windows this will take a while. Don't worry if your VM resets during this process, or if you end up at a black screen with a small windows icon. But because Microsoft wants to promote Hyper-V, the worst thing about software for running virtual machines.
Virtualization has swept through the data center in recent years, enabling IT transformation and serving as the secret sauce behind cloud computing. Many Windows users aren't aware of it, but a powerful virtualization tool is built into every copy of Microsoft Windows 8.
This is the very same Type-1 hypervisor that runs virtualized enterprise workloads and comes with Microsoft Windows Server R2. The virtual machines you create on your desktop with Client Hyper-V are fully compatible with those server systems as well. If you're a software developer and need to do testing, or simply want additional operating system s running on your computer, such as Linux, Hyper-V can be a great feature to have enabled on your PC.
If you need to be able to do these, you might want to consider the free Hyper-V Server product, or Windows Server R2. Many PCs on the market have this feature, but some budget processors and older bit systems do not. In the example above on this Dell consumer Core i7 laptop, it is simply referred to as 'Virtualization' under the 'Advanced' menu.
For this demonstration though, we'll concentrate on the Windows 8. From the Windows 8. Click on it to continue. As per the screen shot above, click on 'Hyper-V' to add the feature and then click on OK. You will be prompted to reboot your PC, where Windows will automatically install the hypervisor and configure the system.
Right Click on each of these and pin them to Start or to the Task Bar. The Hyper-V Manager is the main administrative and management console for all Hyper-V related activities, whereas the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection is a quick way to console directly into a running virtual machine.
In order of most permissive to least permissive, this is why you would want to chose one type of Virtual Switch over the other:. If you choose to give the switch external network connectivity, you'll need to choose a network interface on your PC that the VMs will use for network traffic out to your LAN and the Internet. In my example I have 'Allow management operating system to share this network adapter' checked. That means that my Windows 8.
Most desktop users should probably choose this option, especially if they only have a single physical network interface on their PC. If you uncheck this, only the VMs will communicate over this virtual switch, and you will need a different NIC for network traffic for Windows 8.
In my example, on my laptop, I have selected a USB 3. It is reccomended that you use a wired Ethernet rather than a wireless ethernet adapter for your VM traffic. The reason for this is some wireless networks use network authentication. However, Hyper-V exposes the vSwitch as a wired adapter to the VMs, so in that scenario, the VMs won't have the ability to authenticate to the wireless network.
You will then be presented with a wizard that will take you step-by-step through the VM creation process. Keith Mayer from Microsoft has prepared an informative video explaining how to create new Virtual Machines. Once you have created your VM, you can modify the settings to change the resources allocated to it CPU, Memory as well as add additional virtual hard disks and virtual network interfaces if needed.

Microsoft has crazy ideas and as usual, tries to harm the user and creating more inconsistencies in each new version.
If Windows 8. But because Microsoft wants to promote Hyper-V, the worst thing about software for running virtual machines. If Hyper-V would be the replacement of Virtual PC, at least they could do that would be backward compatible.
Why Hyper-V sucks and should not be used? Virtual PC running Windows 9x was better than the others, because the guest addictions VPC allowed you to use native resolution, and easily share folders.
