Now that Hyper-V has been set up, we can create a VM or two and start taking advantage of the benefits of virtualization.

Keep in mind that VMs, like any other OS installation, will require that you license your products, own keys, install updates, etc. I’ll be using Ubuntu to start, but later I plan on expanding to some other OSs. Let’s get started!

Enabling and Configuring Hyper-V Manager on Windows 10

Who Am I, and What Am I Doing With This Website?
Who am I?
I suppose this is my “Hello World!” post. As suggested by the website’s name, my name is JD Moore. I’m a full-time graduate student pursuing my MBA with a CIS concentration at Texas State University’s McCoy College of Business Administration, and I work at ITAC, Texas State’s help desk, as a member of our Tier III support team. In 2014, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication with a Public Relations emphasis, and a little before that, I decided I didn’t want to leave IT, hence the graduate degree. I’ve worked as a copy editor, answered phone calls as a tier I and tier II tech support rep, got in way over my head working at a MSP and marketing firm, sold popcorn at a movie theater, and bussed tables. In just about every professional position I’ve had, I’ve been able to learn something new every day. I try to say yes to almost every project and role that comes my way, and I love the challenges that comes with it.
