Exercise – Install a virtual machine
In this exercise scenario, you're a developer at a company and need to download the virtual hard disk (VHD). You want to use your local resources on your laptop to run the VHD and to ensure that you can use it at your convenience. You're already in Lifecycle Services and have downloaded the files from the Asset library into your downloads folder, and Hyper-V has been enabled on your computer.
To install the virtual machine, follow these steps:
Go to the Downloads folder on your laptop.
Double-click the part01 file to extract the compressed files (part02 -- part09) and create a single virtual hard disk (.vhd) file. Make sure that you note the location of this file for Step 10.
Open Hyper-V Manager.
Select New > Virtual Machine.
Select Next.
Specify the Name and Location by entering a name for your virtual machine, and then select Next.
Specify the Generation by selecting Generation 1 and then select Next.
Assign memory by entering 12000, selecting the Use Dynamic Memory for this Virtual Machine checkbox, and then selecting Next.
Set up the networking by setting the Connection to Default Switch and then selecting Next.
Connect the virtual hard disk by selecting Use an existing virtual hard disk and then selecting Browse.
Go to the .vhd file that you created in Step 2.
Select Open to select the .vhd file and then select Next.
Select Finish and your virtual machine should be set up and ready for use.
