Hyper V

A Windows 10 Pro feature that allows for virtual machines to be created on Windows, each running it's own (and optionally different) operating system.

In order to use Hyper-V, you first need to make sure that it's enabled. Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off It may or may not require a reboot. You can use the Hyper-V feature by navigating to the Hyper-V Manager. There, you can control both local and remote Hyper-V instances.

Create a vSwitch with Hyper-V

On the righthand side panel, there's an option to open the Virtual Switch Manager. There, you can create a new vSwitch or configure the default ones. There are three types of Virtual Switches: external, internal, and private.

• External: binds to the host's physical network adapter
• Internal: same as external, but restricts direct Internet access. good for networking VMs only
• Private: connected VM is completely isolated from everything else ever

You can also select whether or not the vSwitch will be using a Ethernet or wireless network adapter that's connected to the host OS.
