This tutorial walks through installing Windows 8/8.1 on a Hyper‑V virtual machine. First, enable Hyper‑V in Windows Features and restart. Then launch Hyper‑V Manager, create an External Switch linked to your host’s Ethernet or Wi‑Fi adapter, and configure the switch in Virtual Switch Manager. Next, create a new virtual machine, choose Generation 1 or 2 depending on BIOS/UEFI support, assign 4 GB of RAM (or enable Dynamic Memory for multiple VMs), and attach a virtual hard disk of at least 50 GB. In the installation options, select “Install an operating system from a bootable image file” and browse to your Windows 8/8.1 ISO. Finish the wizard, then start the VM, set the processor count to four or more, and begin the Windows installation. After installation, adjust screen resolution and verify network connectivity, and optionally use a USB flash drive within the VM.
