Explore Hyper-V virtualization to run multiple operating systems as virtual machines on Windows, enabling testing across Windows versions and other operating systems, with isolation and easy export to production.
discover virtualization basics: run multiple virtual machines on one physical server, and use Microsoft technologies like Hyper-V to lower costs and boost agility.
Explore the different types of virtualization Microsoft provides, including server, desktop, user state, presentation, network, and application virtualization.
Explore how Hyper-V server virtualization runs virtual machines on a host, sharing memory, CPU, and storage, presenting them as servers on the network, and supports Windows Server and Linux.
Explore desktop virtualization with Hyper-V, enabling multiple Windows instances on a single client for application compatibility, while noting 64-bit requirements and when to use client vs. server virtualization.
Prepare your environment by verifying a 64-bit processor with virtualization technology, enabling bios hardware virtualization, and installing the Hyper-V role on Windows professional or enterprise for virtualization readiness.
Verify Windows 10 edition supports Hyper-V (home not supported; upgrade to enterprise), ensure at least four gigabytes of memory, enable virtualization in BIOS, and confirm requirements with a Windows command.
Enable Hyper-V on Windows 10 using PowerShell, the deployment image servicing and management tool, or Windows features. Run as administrator, reboot, then create and explain the virtual machine.
Compare Hyper-V on Windows and Windows Server, noting memory management differences and features exclusive to the server edition.
Explore the Hyper-V console and manager to open the console, view local and remote servers, manage virtual machines, and understand permissions and checkpoints.
Obtain the installation media as a 64-bit English ISO file to prepare a virtual machine in Hyper-V, then download and evaluate Windows Server 2012 to create your first VM.
Create a virtual machine using Hyper-V's GUI tool, specify a name and ISO to install an operating system, configure memory, processor, and storage, then boot and install.
install the operating system in the virtual machine by selecting Windows Server 2012 with GUI, configuring language and input, and completing the installation.
Explore Hyper-V integration services, including time synchronization, data exchange, and heartbeat between host and guest machines, plus the role of synthetic versus emulated devices.
Learn to verify and manage Hyper-V integration services in a virtual machine, test guest OS recognition, and enable or disable integration services via the VM's file settings.
Create and configure a Hyper-V virtual switch to connect virtual machines to external, internal, or private networks, then assign the switch to VMs and set stable IP addresses.
Explore how Hyper-V checkpoints create point-in-time snapshots of a virtual machine, including memory and VHD, to revert changes during testing and updates, with performance considerations.
Demonstrate creating and managing Hyper-V checkpoints on Windows, including applying, renaming, and deleting checkpoints to revert a virtual machine to a prior state, noting they are not backups.

WHAT IS HYPER-V?
Whether you are a software developer, an IT professional, or a technology enthusiast, you may need to run multiple operating systems. Instead of dedicating physical hardware to each of your machines, Hyper-V lets you run an operating system or computer system as a virtual machine on Windows.
Hyper-V specifically provides hardware virtualization. That means each virtual machine runs on virtual hardware. Hyper-V lets you create virtual hard drives, virtual switches, and a number of other virtual devices all of which can be added to virtual machines.
IT professionals that knows how to leverage Hyper-V is in high demand, as this skills can be a real time-saver for corporations.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH HYPER-V VIRTUALIZATION?
You can:
Run software that requires an older versions of Windows or non-Windows operating systems.
Experiment with other operating systems. Hyper-V makes it very easy to create and remove different operating systems.
Test software on multiple operating systems using multiple virtual machines. With Hyper-V, you can run them all on a single desktop or laptop computer. These virtual machines can be exported and then imported into any other Hyper-V system, including Azure.
Troubleshoot virtual machines from any Hyper-V deployment. You can export a virtual machine from your production environment, open it on your desktop running Hyper-V, troubleshoot your virtual machine, and then export it back into the production environment.
Using virtual networking, you can create a multi-machine environment for test/development/demonstration while ensuring that it won't affect the production network.
