[dba-Tech] Moving and deleting files

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Arthur and Gustav:

I can confirm this. Hyper-V uses a lot less overhead than either VirtualBox or VMware.

Hi Arthur

Hyper-V is included in all versions of Windows 10 except the Home version:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/Compare

You select it to be installed under ”Turn Windows features on or off”.

We have a lot of VMs running using the old free VMware server. They run extremely stable but I move them bit by bit to Hyper-V which is a little easier to manage. I’ve done any comparison as such.

Gustav,

I've never used Hyper-V, only Oracle VirtualBox. Have you or anyone else
reading this ever done a side-by-side comparison?

I run Windows 10. Is Hyper-V already included, or is it a separate
download? If it's included, how do I install it? If it's a download, I
guess I can Google for a download site.

Thanks,
/Arthur
