In the previous Hyper-V Exploration lab, I laid out step by step examples of setting up and installing Ubuntu Server 24.04, Windows Server 2022 Eval, and pfSense on virtual machines with the Hyper-V hypervisor.
As these steps have been presented previously and this Hyper-V lab serves as an extension with a machine more geared for virtualization, I have the installation steps of each Virtual Machine for each OS in gallery mode to review.
Each of these will have much more flexibility and be able to go further with more hardware resources allocated to them. Let's get started with some VM labs!
