More convenient than Win7: Win8 next key to mount VHD virtual disk

  
Before the release of Windows 8, we introduced some very user-friendly improvements to Win8, such as support for directly mounting ISO files, eliminating the need for us to install The trouble of the virtual CD-ROM software, in fact, can be directly attached to the ISO file, in Windows 8, it also supports direct double-clicking to mount the VHD file, which is an improvement compared to Win7.
The following is a demonstration of this feature for everyone!
The full name of the VHD file is called Virtual Hard Disk, which is a virtual disk. It is a disk format introduced by Microsoft. Install the operating system in hyper-V. At that time, the operating system can be installed in this virtual disk file. VHD can be said to be very important for ordinary consumers or professional IT technicians. In Windows 7, we can install the operating system directly. A VHD file is booted directly from the VHD at boot time. The operating system installed in the VHD is no different from the operating system installed in the disk drive, and the VHD is just a single file and does not occupy a separate file. disk partition. In Windows 7, if we want to view the contents of a VHD file, we need to perform multiple steps in the disk manager:
First press the Win key + R key to open the running window, enter diskmgmt.msc, enter, as shown below Shown -

Eject the disk management interface.

Click on the action and select the additional VHD.

After clicking Browse, select a VHD file.

This VHD file will be mounted after clicking OK.

But in Win8, this process has been greatly simplified. In Windows 8, we only need to double-click on the VHD file, and the system will automatically complete the series of steps we just performed.

Is it convenient? To uninstall, just delete the USB flash drive and delete it directly in the notification bar. Or in the disk management, right click on the disk to select the VHD, so that the VHD file will be uninstalled, or offline to temporarily remove the VHD file from the system.

The improvement in this detail in Windows 8 is still quite a lot, and we will introduce it to you in the future.
