This guide is partially adopted from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyper-V

Creating a VM ​

  1. Open Hyper-V Manager
  2. Under Actions on the right, click New > Virtual Machine...
  3. If you see Before You Begin, click Next
  4. Enter a name for the VM. I will use Pistonite as example. click Next

TIP

If needed, change the location of the VM. For example F:\VirtualMachines

  1. Choose Generation 2. Click Next
  2. For start up memory. I will put 8192MB. Probably enable dynamic memory. Click Next

TIP

Arch Linux wiki says "choose enough to ensure Arch and any programs will run properly."

  1. Leave Connection alone as we will do this later.
  2. Select a size for the virtual hard disk. I will put 256GB. Click Next
  3. Select Install an operating system later. CLick Next
  4. Click Finish

Conguratulations! You have created a VM!
