the operating system is requested, as shown in Figure 5.20. You can choose to
install the operating system later, install it from a bootable ISO, or install it from a
network location. Note that if the virtual machine is generation 1 and you select to
install from a network location, the network adapter created for the virtual
machine will be a legacy network adapter. Also a generation 1 VM has the option to
install from a virtual floppy disk. Once the operating system is installed from the
network, you will want to add a normal network adapter and remove the legacy
network adapter to get the best performance. Click Next.

machine
When the virtual machine is turned on, it will install the operating system from the
ISO or over the network, and the standard operating system installation
configurations will need to be performed within the guest operating system. The latest
Hyper-V Integration Services will be deployed to the VM via Windows Update on first
update.
To connect to a virtual machine, use the Connect action for the virtual machine within
Hyper-V Manager, which launches a connection to the virtual console of the virtual
machine, allowing operating system installation. Make sure that you click the mouse
