Hello,
Here’s how to create a virtual machine in Hyper-V ready to host Windows 11 using Hyper-V.
You can get an ISO of Windows 11 here :
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
Start by checking and adapting the $Name, $RootVmsPath and $IsoPath variables set at the beginning of the script.
Make sure you are using an account with sufficient rights and that you have Hyper-V installed.
The resources defined (RAM, processor and disk size) meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, but you can specify more.
Once all the code has been run, you just need to connect the virtual machine to a network (if necessary) and follow the Windows 11 installation process.
