Windows Server 2016 - Install Hyper-V Server, Virtual Switch, VMs (How to Step by Step Tutorial)

One word of advice!!….make sure that when you setup the virtual switch, you get everything right the first time, including the network adapters for the VM. If you have dual NICs, allocate only one them to the virtual switch and the other to the VM host physical server. There are settings that will allow to change certain parameters in the Hyper-V settings and in the individual VM settings. These are for the most part ok to change. If you try change settings from the network adapter settings, you’re headed to destination F’d. Do not try to remove the default created Hyper-V virtual switch, do not disable the physical network adapter. Do not try and remove the Hyper-V role!….all of the actions will lead you to destination F’d and easiest fix is to just reinstall, or at least that was my experience. I was trying to swap VM switch to the other NIC and it all just went south. So…make sure during the initial setup you get it right the first time and don’t try and change anything outside of the VM setup options. ALSO, during the course of setting up the VM Host server, make sure you back it up along the way so you can recover to the various stages of configurations.

Hi, i would like to know, can we install windows server 2016 on Gigabyte b760m D2H Motherboard? i tried installing but missing lots of drivers, if you suggest me that will be great thank you

When I turn the Hyper-V role and restart I get a BSOD which says Inaccessible boot device. What can be the issue?

Straight Forward thank you so much

I'm Getting an error when I'm creating a network connection in Hyper - V. I'm using windows 11. can you guide me on how to overcome this issue? please

Thanks for the video. This is helpful, thanks a lot ! Great tutorial

Depending on your setup most windows 10 virtual machines are completely laggy over rdp protocol either way good tutorial thanks for sharing your expertise.

sweeet :}.

Great vid, was going to test-bed this but now I dont have to. I'll stick to ESXi, Seems HyperV consumes a CPU for the host and an additional license for the host. ESXi uses next to nothing from server resources.

Simple and straight forward. Thank you!

Merci pour le tuto vraiment utile

amazing one man. really helped me understand about the Hyper-v

Does a VM need to go through the VirtualNIC or can you point it directly to the NIC on the host?

I have tried the same but on my Vswitch adapter it is showing unidentified network also it is not taking IP from DHCP, any idea on this ?

THANK YOU!!!! WELL DONE!

thank you so much buddy that was awesome tutorial

Thank so much ineed to contact you

can you pick the core of the CPU the VMs will use?

thanks bro. :)

So once I install hyper v on my windows 10, will it take our the windows 10 kernel and make my existing windows 10 as one of the guest machines ?

could just use VirtualBox to accomplish the same thing ..and its less messing about ..that's what I do on my server
