Hyper-v /Generation 2 /Window 10 and 11 Freezes during install.

Question

In Hyper-V Windows 10 installs correctly with generation 1.

But Windows 10 and Windows 11 in generation 2 Freezes at the start of the installation.

After I pick connect and then start. The machine starts and I get the black screen with 'press any key to boot'. And that is were it Freezes.

Can someone assist with this?

Answer 1

Hi,

Please make the DVD Drive the first boot device of the VM and see if the VM can boot from that. To change the boot order, right click the virtual machine and select Settings, click Firmware from the left pane and move the DVD Drive up to the top.

Best Regards,
