Check this tutorial from our own Dwarf: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2493-hyper-v-how-use-windows-8-a.html.

The tutorial explains to you how to create a virtual switch and your Hyper-V virtual machine.

Please simply tell me what is the error message you told you get when you create an external switch!

 

[windstory]

In English, it is like this.

There's an error in changing properties of virtual switch at making virtual ethernet switch

 

[Kari]

OK, that error message normally means one of two things:

• Problems with Microsoft NDIS Packet Capture Filter Driver
  - OR -
• A switch is already tied to NIC you are using when creating a new switch

Let's try first to create the switch manually:

1. Run Hyper-V manager, it needs to be running to do the next steps
2. Run PowerShell as administrator by right clicking the PowerShell shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools and selecting Run as administrator
   
3. First to be sure we use correct NIC name, type Get-NetAdapter in PowerShell and press Enter
   
4. Check the correct name and spelling of a NIC which is free (not already tied to a switch). In my example I use the wireless NIC with the name Wi-Fi
5. Type New-VMSwitch -Name “NewSwitch” -NetAdapterName “Wi-Fi” -AllowManagementOS $True and press Enter:
   .
   

• NewSwitch = name of your switch, whatever you want to
• Wi-Fi = change here the name of your NIC
• The parameter -AllowManagementOS should have value $False​ if you want to deny your host using this connection

A new switch will now be created and can be seen in Virtual Switch Manager:

If you get an error message instead, please copy the full text of that message and post here!

The error message is this:

Could you please tell me
- Which switches you already have and to which NIC (if any) they are connected to
- How many NICs you have
- The English names of your NICs as PowerShell Get-NetAdapter tells them

You could also make helping you a bit easier by creating a local account on your Windows 8 Pro, logging in to that new account and changing it to English Display Language. This would make your whole account totally in English and we could really understand your error messages and screenshots.

When we are ready, you can then simply delete the English local user account.

I made an local account, and changed English locale, and open Hyper-V manager as Administrator, then Hyper-V manager shows Korean Mode.



And the error messages also shows in English.

I added local account and changed in English, but I should open Hyper-v Manager as Administrator and hyper-v manager shows in Korean and the error message also. So I chnanged Administrator's account in English mode, and got this message.
