[dba-Tech] Moving and deleting files

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Gustav:

Did I not say that? Sorry for any confusion... I did provide further clarification in a follow up post. 

I have had a Hyper-V server installed on a box at one time. I must admit I did also installed a GUI or  as I like to describe them, a "distro". As it was only a test server, which had only 8GB of RAM, it was eventually replaced with another test environment. I do also have a friend that runs a web-hosting site that exclusively uses Hyper-V servers to host his clients. (His servers have 32 and 64 GB of RAM.)

Arthur was asking if he could run hyper-visor technology on his Windows 10 computer and according to a link, he can. There is a clear separation between a open HV server and the desktop implementation. I have not tried or seen a desktop version running...just read about it. You did check out the link I provided, in this post?

If you have or are current using either the server version and/or the desktop version please provide some of your experiences.

Jim

Hi Jim

You are confused ...

Microsoft Hyper-V Server is a stripped down (free) Windows Server with the sole purpose to service the Hyper-V role. Versions are 2008, 2012, 2012 R2, and 2016 Preview. It is a bare metal install requiring nothing but capable hardware. Other than the Hyper-V role, it offers only little, most importantly though, you can enable Windows Backup which features bare-metal recovery.

The Hyper-V role is a selectable feature you can switch on in all current Windows versions except the Home and Mobile versions you list in the other post.

Hi Arthur:

I have installed a Microsoft Hyper-V server before but never as a feature on any Windows desktop machines. That said, according to the attached link, here is the method to install it:

I have not checked whether this can be installed on a HOME edition of Windows 10 or whether this is just a client version? (Why there would be a client version totally escapes me but...)

Jim,

Two questions:
1. From whence can the free Hyper-V be downloaded?
2. Will it work on Windows 10 Home?
