Hyper V

One of the shortcomings I find with Hyper-V is that it isn’t easy to copy files from Windows into my Hyper-V virtual environment. I have found a quick and easy method to share a virtual Windows folder with Hyper-V and will describe how to set this up. Starting a file share You need to open Control Panel and “Turn Windows Features On And Off”. From here select SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support and SMB Direct.

I have installed Hyper-V on my PC. I am going to use this to test various Linux distributions. I have noticed that every time I load a new distribution as a virtual machine it doesn’t display full screen. I have to change the resolution to be able to see my Linux system in full screen mode. One way to change your resolution is via the following: Open a terminal window.
