Install Hyper V Server 2016 (free perpetual eval licence)

Install on your hardware/vm of choice.

If you’re using oVirt or other KVM based hypervisor for you host, you’ll likely want the console viewer application installed on your local machine: https://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-x64-6.0.msi

Set up the vm with the disk connected to IDE initially, we can switch it over to faster VirtIO once drivers are installed.
