How to Setup Hyper V on Windows
Let’s go over setting up Hyper V to use Linux VMs and other non-windows images. Since Hyper V is a type 1 windows hypervisor it is the best performing one for Windows Pro users.

How to set the network to be the same as the default network on VirtualBox?
VM has to have access to the Internet, and is not able to see other computers on Lan and Host.
One more optimization, do not set up the VHD during VM creation, but do it afterwards and make it a fixed size disk. Dynamically expanding has negative performance impacts.
Hello chris ,
i was wondering if you can make a video about ntlite , i love the details you speak about & your opinion on options , & your ranting in general when it comes to windows 10 features
i'm really excited for it
Although faster, issues I have with Hyper-V are
1. VM is limited to 1920×1080 line resolution (people suggest setting up vnc or something on the guest to get bigger resolutions)
2. It's not portable. I can't port the image to a Linux host.
Portability is the same issue with KVM on Linux. Its great, but just to change the drive for guest OS is a pain for a noob like me.
gave up on hyper v when I tried to get things like copy paste and decent mouse integration working with ubuntu as a guest. Vbox might be slower but the reduction in frustration just trying to do simple things is so worth it. After finding a microsoft forum where people had been complaining about the lack of a fix in hyper v for 5 years i figured i can handle slightly laggy (which tbh is barely noticeable)
Enhanced Session Mode enables Copy+Paste
Rdp is 1970, parsec is the way to go. very fast and with gpu passthrough so fast like a native PC. but thank, nice explanation. 🙂
If they handicaped Hyper-V, they want to be sure that no one use older version of Windows in a VM. Because many that use Qemu/KVM on linux use it to use Windows 7 and even XP in order to run older windows software with active licenses that are still good, but won't work at all under Windows 10. I know someone that use a VM to run native DOS programs, because they run faster on newer machine.
Hello Chris,
Thanks for all the good work you are doing for Linux, I have a helpdesk for Linux users here and there are more and more. But I have something curious to ask you. On all Ubuntu based distros I never have problems, they usually find the wifi signal instantly, but when I have to configure an Arch based distro it never finds the wifi signal and always offers it wired, what can I do to fix this prevent the future?
Many greetings from the other side of the world, from Antwerp, which can be found in Europe in the most difficult country called Belgium!
Can I use local Hyper-V Manager to manage remote Hyper-V hosts (especially Windows Server Core with Hyper-V role)?
Any chance for a Youtube tutorial on setting up macOS VM on Linux?
Love all your videos. So easy to follow and tweak its no joke. Very user friendly
VMware Player -> Free
VMware ESXi -> has a free license option
If you want a home lab of VMware products, VMUG Advantage program for $200/yr. Includes ESXI, vCenter, vRealize products, vSAN, etc.
VMware is expensive for Commercial/Enterprise use because it is an enterprise solution.
What about the Mac to get the trifecta?
I miss a link to your GitHub account in the info box.
hyper-v is a bad joke
Great HyperV video, Thanks! Vmware does have free setups to try, like Vmware player and vSphere Hypervisor. vSphere does not rely on another operating system, it is OS independent, so you don’t need a Windows license. And it’s foot print is only 144 megabytes.
Everyone wants to compare their software to Vmware. But Vmware is highly underrated. Vmware is 1000 times more powerful than Virtualbox and these other free setups. Yes the larger services cost money. You get Hypervisor that powers vSphere and vCenter Server. You get containers and Kubernetes Clusters. You get fluid and responsive 3D graphics with DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.5 with up to 8Gb of memory for virtual machines and games. And you can create and configure complex IPv4/IPv6 virtual networks for your VMs. Vmware also has Cloud technology and Cloud Security, Telco Cloud with 5G and NSX, health state carbon black workload, Tanzu mesh service Disaster and site recovery.
Linux GUIs never work right in VMs, and it's not a Hyper-V thing. I've had resolution issues on every distro I've run and on every hypervisor I've run them on (Hyper-V, QEMU, ESXi, VMware Workstation, Virtualbox, etc.). Most often it starts out OK, then sometime later down the road, something always inevitably breaks it. It's gotten so I just don't like running any Linux system with a GUI in a VM and if I do, I just plan on having to sometimes work in a small environment for when the resolution inevitably reverts back. I usually use the most basic of basic graphical environments for my Linux VMs so things like Fluxbox, LXQT, etc. and without any compositor effects, with a heavy reliance on virtual desktops. Things like Gnome or KDE just aren't practical for a VM environment IMO.
Pro tip for people that want to forward USB devices (no, not storage devices, other things like serial adapters, cameras, microphones, etc.):
Search for information about "RemoteFX" and how to enable that function.
