What version do I need to install Hyper-v on my windows 7?
I have a win 7 os on my laptop.
I am trying to set up a VM where I can install other server like win 2008 server and sharepoint.
I downloaded hyper-v 2008 r2 version.
I tried to install it but it sounded like it is trying overwrite my win 7 and upgrade it.
I was not sure what it was doing so I cancelled.
Do I have the right version?
How do I set up a vm on my win 7 laptop and build window server 2008 vm?
Thanks.
