Check the description below to download for free , creating a new virtual machine to create a new virtual machine on hyper V right ?

Click on your computer name here , hover your mouse over new .

Now choose virtual machine .

You will see some instructions in the new virtual machine .

Wizard click next in the second step , you have to specify the name of the virtual machine and its location .

So type the name in the text box and select the location where you want to save it .

In the third step , you need to choose the generation of the virtual machine .

Generation .

One supports 32 bit and 64 bit older operating systems .

However , generation two supports only 64 bit latest operating systems with advanced features .

So I'm going with generation two .

In the fourth step , you need to specify the ram usage for the virtual machine .

A standard windows 10 requires at least two gigabytes of ram .

So I enter 2048 megabytes memory here and keep the dynamic memory selected this way the virtual machine could use more than two gigabytes when required .

The fifth step is about giving your virtual machine access to the network you can choose the default switch to provide it access or can provide the access later .

I am picking not connected right now .

I will deal with it later to show you how to do that .

In the sixth step , you need to provide a virtual hard disk to your machine .

Here , you can create a new one or select an existing hard disk or can choose to attach the hard drive later .

I am going to create a new one , name your hard disk and select its location and then specify the size and gigabytes windows .

10 requires 32 gigabytes of hard drive for 64 bit and 16 gigabytes of hard disk for 32 bit installation .

So choose accordingly .

I am just going to test it so only giving 20 gigabytes of space in the seventh step , you need to specify the installation options .

You can choose to install the OSS later or can select the bootle iso image file .

If you had connected your machine with a network , you could also choose to install the OS on the network .

Now , click next and you will see the summary , click finish now that the virtual machine is created to start the machine , right , click on it and choose connect , then click on start .

Now the virtual machine is starting since I have selected the network boot option , it is searching for the bootle medium which isn't there .

I have to change its boot medium from settings .

And choose the iso bootle media .

Before we do that , let's decide what we are going to run on this machine .

You have created a virtual machine , but you need an OS to run on that .

If you want to run Windows 10 , you can download the Windows media creation tool to create Windows 10 is so , but you will need a key to install it .

If you don't have a key , you can run the free version of Windows 10 for a virtual machine , we will get back to it later .

First , let's see how to install the Windows 10 with key on the virtual machine .

Creating potable ISL for Windows 10 .

Download the Windows media creation tool .

The link is in the description , run it and click yes in the U A pop-up , read and accept the license agreement .

Select create installation media and click next .

You can untick this box and choose the language edition and architecture .

Then click next , select the ISO file option and click next .

Now describe the location to save the ISL .

That's it .

It will take a long time depending on your internet and download the Windows 10 and create the boot iso installing Windows 10 on virtual machine .

In our virtual machine , we haven't given the location of ISO earlier , so we need to do that .

Installing a free Windows 10 for virtual machine .

As I told you earlier , Microsoft is giving Windows 10 for free to run on a virtual machine .

This OS works free for 90 days and after that , it stops working .

So if you want to test a few things , 90 days of free Windows 10 is a good option .

Click on download zip .

Since you are downloading a virtual machine and hard disk , it's quite vast in size .

Click next .

Now click on browse and provide the location of the virtual machine you downloaded .
