Course introduction and welcome
Udemy has had issues with some videos having moments of blurred screens. The cause of this is the Auto (1080p) setting in the Udemy player that dynamically changes at times. The recommendation is to change the Udemy player setting to 720p- that will stop all blurriness in Udemy videos.
Explore how to adjust playback speed in the Udemy player to optimize your learning cadence, with a recommended 1.25x as the default starting point and the option to customize.

Enable Hyper-V on Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise and use virtual nesting to run server 2016 inside a VM, exposing most options and teaching exceptions like failover clustering and migrations.
Maximize host resources with Hyper-V by running multiple operating systems on a single physical computer, reducing hardware and cooling needs and enabling testing of OSes and apps in virtual machines.
Learn Hyper-V prerequisites for Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10, including 64-bit editions, virtualization in firmware, DEP, and SLAT. Understand virtual memory mapping to physical RAM and verify with msinfo32.
Learn to install Hyper-V on Windows 10 via control panel or Windows settings, load the Hyper-V platform and management tools, and then apply the same setup for Windows Server 2016.
Open hyper-v manager through the start search or control panel to confirm installation, then verify event viewer logs and performance monitor counters show Hyper-V activity.
Install Hyper-V on server 2016 using server manager's add roles and features wizard, configure virtual switches, and manage virtual machines via Hyper-V manager.
Download the Windows Server 2016 ISO from the Microsoft evaluation center to obtain a 180-day trial; complete the registration to start the download (about four gigabytes).
Create a new generation two virtual machine in Hyper-V manager, configure startup memory and dynamic memory, attach a virtual hard disk, and boot from a server 2016 ISO.
Hyper-V is Microsoft's hardware virtualization product. It allows you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs. When you need computing resources, virtual machines give you more flexibility, help save time and money, and are a more efficient way to use hardware than just running one operating system on physical hardware.
Hyper-V runs each virtual machine in its own isolated space, which means you can run more than one virtual machine on the same hardware at the same time. You might want to do this to avoid problems such as a crash affecting the other workloads, or to give different people, groups or services access to different systems.
