Home Lab 2: Hyper-V

Let’s get Hyper-V installed and a bridged network switch defined. I want all virtual machines to be available to the rest of the client systems on my home network. Keep it simple.

Browse to the Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features or appwiz.cpl.

Naviget to Programs and Features.

Check Hyper-V.

Check Hyper-V, enabling virtualization hosts.

Start Hyper-V. Click on the host under Hyper-V Manager.

Start Hyper-V.  Click on the host under Hyper-V Manager.

Click on your computer’s host, in my case TactfulTurtle and create a new External Virtual Switch.

Changed the default name to Bridged Virtual Switch and the external network to the wireless network interface.

Ok, the basics are done for now. Next time we get a VM up and running.
