Create Hyper-V for virtual machine running environment in Win8

  
We can use VHD files to create multiple operating systems and edit the system boot menu to choose the type of operating system to boot. Installing multiple operating systems on the same or multiple partitions can save a lot of disk space.

In terms of storage, Windows 8 can support Hyper-V-based Virtual Fibre Channel Adapter, storage resource library, new VHDX virtual hard disk format, etc. On the processor side, Windows 8 can support multi-core computing.
