In the command prompt window, type diskpart and press enter.Click/press start, type CMD, right click on the (likely) first result and choose Run as administrator.Open a command prompt as an administrator.Time to see how the process is completed using diskpart. As far as Windows is concerned, the VHD is a newly installed hard disk, so you don’t need to initialize and format it at allĪgain, another simple process, with the lengthiest section taken up by the system creating the VHD.
You will be asked to specify a location for the VHD, which we’ve chosen C:\VHD and the filename Win10.vhd.Once in Computer Management, right click the Disk Management and choose Create VHD.Click/press Start, type compmgmt.msc, right click on the (likely) first result and choose Run as administrator.We’ll look at all three, but first let’s start with Computer Management. There are three ways that creating the VHD can be achieved: Computer/Disk Management Console, diskpart and PowerShell. We can create a VHD in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 (not to mention Server 2008 R2 and up) and install to what is essentially a secondary hard disk, stored as a. What if you wanted to boot Windows 10 on your system, without formatting the hard disk? This is where VHDs (virtual hard disks) prove their worth. But the problem with that is, you will have to take a slight performance hit (due to the Windows 10 OS sitting on the virtual stack of network, storage and hardware). We’ve already touched upon utilizing your existing hardware to install Windows 10 as a virtual machine on your host OS. While there are other more complex and complete solutions from VMware, Citrix and Microsoft themselves. If your computer has a half decent processor (i5 upwards), at least 6GB of RAM and 50GB of free space you’d be best installing either VMware Player or VirtualBox and start playing/learning. You should also know that Windows 8.1 has Hyper-V built-in in Pro and Enterprise versions. The most popular, free apps, would have to be VMware Player and VirtualBox. The simplest, non-destructive way to test Windows 10 would be to download any number of the free Virtual Server apps out there. It’s still a buzzword, and with Windows 10 introducing Virtual Desktops, it will continue to be. Those of you that work in IT will be well versed in virtualization.
