Prior to creating a virtual machine, you must place the ISO file in any network folder that can be accessed by the server with the hypervisor. If you open the Microsoft Hyper-V Manager console on the same server on which the hypervisor is installed, you can place the ISO file on a local hard drive.
To create a virtual machine:
- Open the Management Console of Microsoft Hyper-V Manager.
- In the left part of the window, select the hypervisor on which you want to deploy the virtual machine image.
- In the context menu, select New → Virtual Machine.
The Virtual Machine Creation Wizard opens.
- Follow the steps of the Wizard:
A virtual machine with the defined settings will be created. Make sure that it is displayed in the Virtual Machines list on the selected hypervisor.
The virtual machine is created with the default number of processors. You must change this setting in the properties of the virtual machine after it is created.
