I get asked this most by people using vmware because they have gotten trained to copy | paste for their file transfers and hyper-v doesn't allow that. You can set up network paths and mapped drives but that can be fiddly or open security issues so ime the best solution is to make a vhdx (virtual...
I'm running W8 and have created a virtual W7 using hyper-v. I very rarely connect the real computer to the Internet. If I always turn off the virtual W7 before I connect the computer to the Internet, do I need security software for the virtual W7?
Thanks in advance and thanks to the moderator.
Hello all. First time post. I am running Server 2012 and Hyper-V. Each time I attempt to create a Windows 7 VM I am presented with a black screen and flashing cursor when the newly created VM launches. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Peter

I'm running Windows 8 x64 and it usually works flawlessy.
Hyper-V refuses to be useful when I get it from add features. Every time I try to install it, Windows somehow breaks and stops running after Boot loading screens, forcing me to restart and use System Restore.
Any ideas on how to get...
Hyper-V has been enabled in Windows Features but when the management console appears it offers no list of choices in the righthand menu - just "connect." The lefthand menu is similarly bare.
Perhaps someone has a clue on what's missing, and a step-by-step tutorial on how to recreate the...
