shown in addition to the currently assigned amount of memory, the actual
memory demand of the VM, and the status of the memory, as shown in Figure
5.16. Remember that the Assigned Memory value is the actual memory currently
allocated to the virtual machine from the physical memory of the host.Figure 5.16 Detail tabs for a virtual machineNetworking Shows all adapters for a virtual machine, including IP address and

Typically, a host and virtual machine are selected, which provides host-level
configurations at the top of the pane and actions specific to virtual machines in the
bottom half.
While there are numerous actions for the server, such as creating new virtual
machines and disks, the key configuration for the Hyper-V host is via the Hyper-V
Settings action, which opens the key configurations for the server. The Server options,
such as the default path for virtual hard disks, and configurations can be changed in
addition to specifying which GPU can be used for RemoteFX, NUMA spanning, and
other configurations (all covered throughout the book). In the User portion of the
configurations, shown in Figure 5.17, I often like to change the Keyboard option to
always send the special key combinations to the virtual machine, even when it’s not
running full screen.
