I am trying to start Windows 10 on a Virtual machine specifically in Hyper-V. I've downloaded it off Microsoft and saved it as a .iso. I am not too sure why it isn't working, I also have the new Surface laptop which has the new Snapdragon CPU. If anyone can help me figure this out, I'd greatly appreciate it

What pops up when I try to connect is

SCSI DVD (0,1) The boot loader did not load an os
Network Adapter A boot image was not found
SCSI Disk (0,0) The boot loader did not load an os If I can't fix the problem does anyone have any suggestions on if I should get a new laptop?

Hi Allen,

Thanks for your post. We have encountered similar issue that is caused by the wrong Generations VM. If you have create a 32 bit .iso, please create the VM as a Gen1 since its a 32 bit instance. Hyper-V Gen2 does not support 32 bit UEFI.

Also, please follow the official guide to create one VM in Hyper-V.

Would I need to download an ARM based iso for it to work? The new surface laptops are ARM based (which is the one I have). If so, where could I download one from? (Windows 10)

Hi Alle,

Basically, you can contact the vendor directly for an ISO image. For testing purposes, you can download with the following links:

If you are a member of Windows Insider program, you can download the ARM ISO with the following link: Download Windows Insider Preview ARM64 (microsoft.com)

Hi,

I specifically need a Windows 10 ARM iso due to the fact that I have the new surface laptop 7th edition that has a snapdragon 64-bit ARM based processor. It isn't on the windows insider program anymore. Is there a way I can contact Microsoft or a specific vendor or person for this specific iso?
