Hyper-V
- Thread starter Loxa
- Start date
Configuring the operating system of a virtual machine is essentially the same as setting up that of a physical computer. If the software you're going to be installing needs a visual c++ redistribution installed then you'll need to install it in the VM as you normally would.
The drivers you install will be different - you'll need to install the Hyper-V Integration Services once you've completed the base OS install which will then configure the VMs drivers.

Right ok, is the "Hyper-V Integration Services" an option in the VM i check to install or do i have to download it from another source?
It should come down as part of Windows Update assuming you're running Hyper-V on Windows 10 or Server 2016.
If you're on an earlier version you need to manually install it from the guest ISO - there should be a right-click option on the VM to automatically attach the image.

Ahhh ok, i am on windows 10.
Integration services don't need to be installed for server 2016 or Windows 10, link. The features are enabled on the host and guest VM.
What games? It needs CPU cycles to drive graphics so it's never going to work well.
Old game called Archlord, not a big issue was more of a want than a need.
