How to create a virtual machine using Win8's own components

There are many ways to create a virtual machine, but do you know that Win8's own components can also create virtual machines? In fact, the Win8 system will be the first to bring the enterprise's own components Hyper. The -V function is integrated in the personal system. Its function is similar to virtual machine software such as VMware and VirtualBox, and it has its excellent features. With Hyper-V, we can easily create virtual machines directly. .

The Hyper-V function in Win8 requires the following:

System requirements: 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8 can be enabled for Hyper-V, but only 64-bit Windows 8 can be created. Virtual machines, 32-bit systems can't, only virtual machine links. Since the maximum memory supported by the 32-bit system is only 4G, even if the virtual machine function is enabled, the virtual machine function will not be obtained, so the function of the virtual machine is cancelled in the 32-bit system.

Device Requirements: Hyper-V requires secondary address translation (SLAT) and supports virtualized CPU (AMD-V or Intel-VT).

Enabling Win8's Hyper-V function

In the Win8 system, the Hyper-V function is set to off by default. We need to enable this function first. First enter the control panel of the Win8 system and select “Program”. In the "Programs" panel, select “Enable or turn off Windows features”.

In & ldquo; Windows function & rdquo; dialog box check & ldquo; Hyper-V & rdquo; options, and click & ldquo; OK & rdquo ;.

Note: If the system and hardware conditions are not met, the “Hyper-V” option will be grayed out.

After the start Hyper-V features Win8 system, you need to reboot the system, so as to complete the Windows hypervisor and virtual machine management service to start. After restarting the Win8 system, you can see the Hyper-V related application tile in the start screen.

We have briefly introduced the Hyper-V function that comes with the Win8 system and how to create a virtual machine. Since the Hyper-V supports the virtual switch function, the NIC in the virtual system must be connected to the virtual switch before connecting to the network. . This feature of Win8 provides a lot of convenience for some friends who need to use the virtual machine. Interested friends may wish to try it.
