Hyper-V Default Folder Location
User generated imageWhen I install Hyper-V on Windows 2012 R2 Server, it creates the following default folders.
Default location for virtual hard disk files: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks
Default location for virtual machine configuration files: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V

It seems to be that it makes more sense to put them in one root folder like the following:
C:\VM\VHD for Default location for virtual hard disk files and C:\VM\Configuration for virtual machine configuration files.

But I noticed that there are other folders under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V.
So my question is if it is better to leave the default folder locations as they are or I can create my own folder like C:\VM and won't miss anything for not having all those additional folders (in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V) seen on the screenshot.
