1. Open Hyper-V manager
2. Give the virtual machine a name. By default the virtual hard disk will be saved in the default directory, which you can change from Hyper-V's settings. You can also save this specific machine in another location in the installation dialogue.
3. Select virtual machine type, we recommend the top option. With this option the machine will work older Windows Server operating systems as well. The lower option is meant for systems that support UEFI.
4. Define the amount of RAM allocated to the virtual machine. The recommended amount for windows virtual machines is at least 2GB (2048MB). Linux virtual machines can usually be run on 512MB-1GB.
5. Define NIC (network interface card). This can also be done at a later point, if you don't want to do it now.
6. Define virtual hard drive. You can create a new one or use an old virtual hard drive if you already have one. Define the space for the virtual hard drive.
7. Define the method which will be used to install the operating system image on the virtual hard drive.
8. Now the virtual machine has been created and is ready to be booted. You still need to install an operating system on it before it functions like a normal computer, though!
