Windows 10: Create a Virtual Switch Hyper-V Re: Are The Tutorials Up To Date?

I created my first VM the other day and frankly I did not quite understand what the virtual switch was all about and did not create one. After the VM was successfully created I quickly shut it down for fear of wrecking it : ) It would seem however that in order to have Internet access I need to go back and create a Virtual Switch and I was wondering if the Hyper-V virtualization - Setup and Use in Windows 10 thread from 2014

Hyper-V virtualization - Setup and Use in Windows 10

on the first page contains info that is applicable to Windows 10 or do I need to follow a different guide. The reason I ask is I came across this link that seems to indicate that there are some problems with Windows 10 ver. 1709 though it does seem to relate to folks who had prior good working switches before updating. TIA.

Where is the Hyper V Manager, How to I start it ?

I followed the steps in Neil Peterson article of 5/9/2016.

System Requirements - done - ok

Install Hyper-V - done - ok

Create a Virtual Switch - skip

Create a Virtual Machine

Create a Virtual Machine with Hyper-V Manager

These steps walk through how to manually create a virtual machine and deploy an operating system to this virtual machine.

• 
  In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New >
  Virtual Machine to bring up the New
  

Uhhhhhhhhh - this step obviously implies one knows

1) Where the Hyper-V Manager is

2) How to start the Hyper-V Manager

Isn't that odd ?

 

Creating Virtual Switch in Hyper-V

Hi All,

We are trying to create nested VM using Hyper-V. In Hyper-V manager,on creating the virtual switch for second level VM, we encounter an error while retrieving the list of Virtual switches. As we are in beginning stage of learning, we are
unable to sort out from where the "localhost" is referred from. We have gone through some blogs but of no use. Any help will be more appreciable.





Thanks in Advance!
