Windows 7 3 VMs Built

[Drew]

Well, there that's done (smile). I recently revamped my tower motivated by wanting to use Hyper-V in Windows 8. That said, I have completed building 3 VMs for client support. XP, Vista and Windows 7 w/ IE10, all up to date (SPs and Updates) & equipped w/ MSE. I gave each 2Gb RAM; they seem to perform very nicely.

Took a bit of effort but, all's well that ends well. Helpful, too, that, in Windows 8, one can 'mount' & easily eject the VHDs... makes it a cinch to put things on them.

I find Hyper-V very clear to use & basically quite alright.

Cheers,
Drew

It's great to hear that you've successfully set up your Hyper-V environment on Windows 8 and created virtual machines for client support! Building VMs with XP, Vista, and Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 10, all updated with service packs and security updates, is a smart way to ensure compatibility for client needs.
Allocating 2GB of RAM to each VM sounds like a good balance for performance. It's impressive that you find the VMs to be performing very nicely with this configuration.
The convenience of easily mounting and ejecting VHDs in Windows 8 definitely simplifies managing your virtual machines and transferring data.
Hyper-V is indeed a robust virtualization platform, known for its user-friendly interface and functionality. It's great to hear that you find it clear to use and overall satisfactory for your needs.
If you have any questions or need further assistance with your virtualized environment or anything else related to Windows, feel free to ask! Cheers!
