I am using the Hyper v GUI. Here are some screen shots: I get to this point and it wants to install to my non-VM partitions. the virtual hard drive is not an option on the next (?) screen.

I got Hyper V setup (I think). The GUI client starts and I can go to the server. I could not get the continuous page after page setup to work unless I first set up a virtual hard drive. I think there was an option to install the OS if I set up the Vm and the VHd at the same time. I am now...

I had originally set up the desktop that died to dual boot Win XP and Win 7 back in 2007. I don't think I ever again dual booted into until just before support for XP was to go dark. I wanted to get it all up to snuff. I haven't tried but I am sure it will not boot due to the new hardware...

I guess I dodged a bullet on needing to use VMWare rather than Hyper V. I would have also wanted to run a VM on my laptop (Lenovo x220). Fortunately that has an i7 and as I understand it, all i3, i5, and i7s support SLAT. If the host machine and its VM were to run the same OS, do they run at...

My kids who are software engineers keep telling me to switch to Linux and if I had I would not be having the problems I'm having (but I think I might be having others). Anyway, you gave a reason not to run VMWare. Briefly why would I want to be running VMWare, rather than just Hyper V

Thanks! You info was the good news for which I was hoping and in fact better than expected. No matter what I did I couldn't get Windows 7 to repair or repair install as I am embarassed to admit I was coming from a 7+ year old LGA 775, DDR2 and a Q6600 to a 1150, DDR3 and an i5-4690...

i have never setup a virtual machine before. I got a parity error and rather than diagnose, I bought a new mobo, CPU and RAM only to learn the problem was the PSU so I got a new one of those also. My old Win 7 Ult would not install and since I was going to have to install all my programs...

Got my Nexus 2 wifi connect 2 internet thru lappie wired I am not sure how I did it. Hopefully it will stay "done." I used Connectify-me and I think I first had already bridged the ethernet and wifi adapters first, or maybe the program did (or redid) it. Who knows? Only the Shadow knows...

I too was a early user of PDANet but have since switched to EasyTether. This worked well to connect my laptop to my phone to get it to the internet using the phone's mobile wireless connection. Now that I have a custom Android ROM/kernel I can also do this wirelessly with wifi. That's what...

I had tried Virtual Router before, and in fact that is why I bought a wireless dongle as the help file said if the software solution did not work, then get a dongle. It says it works with Win 8 (and does not specifically state it works with 8.1) Separately i have been trying to buy a wireless...

There are now many wifi only android devices that do not have mobile wireless. Yes, almost everyone has a wireless modem at home for their broadband connection. there are free or guest wifi connections in many places. But sometimes only wired connections are available, such as at my office...

Thanks, this one looks like it has real possibilities to do what I want.

Driver Magician might be an aid to reinstalling using the same motherboard and chipset, but if I were doing that I probably would not need it as I think a repair or repair install would work if I were simply replacing like for like as the drivers would be the same. In my case I thought my old...

I got a 2 beep POST (parity) error and thought my old RAM/mobo dies (it was PSU instead). I bought a new mobo, CPU & RAM as the old PC was 7+ yo and had a Q6600 and DDR2 on Win 7. So now I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK, an i5 4690 & DDR3 and a new PSU and it will be on Win8.1 I never kept...
