Windows 8 and HyperV

[RiversideDude]

I'm going to buy a new Windows 8 PC and I want to use hyperV. Which version of Win 8 do I need? Where do I get the ISO file to use when creating my VMs for hyperV?

Thanks in advance.

You need Windows 8 Pro. You install the OS to the VM the same way you would from any installation media: USB, CD, ISO file.

You need the Windows 8 Pro edition.

You will get the ISO files by creating them from the installation CD/DVD of the operating systems you want to virtualize.

If you purchased the OS online then you will most likely already have the ISO file.

If your going to virtualize Linux distros then you just download them from the website - easy!
