Whether you are a software developer, an IT professional, or a technology enthusiast, many of you need to run multiple operating systems. Instead of dedicating physical hardware to each of your machines, Hyper-V lets you run an operating system or computer system as a virtual machine on Windows.
Reasons to use virtualization
Run software that requires an older versions of Windows or non-Windows operating systems.
Experiment with other operating systems. Hyper-V makes it very easy to create and remove different operating systems.
Test software on multiple operating systems using multiple virtual machines. With Hyper-V, you can run them all on a single desktop or laptop computer. These virtual machines can be exported and then imported into any other Hyper-V system, including Azure.
Troubleshoot virtual machines from any Hyper-V deployment. You can export a virtual machine from your production environment, open it on your desktop running Hyper-V, troubleshoot your virtual machine, and then export it back into the production environment.
Using virtual networking, you can create a multi-machine environment for test/development/demonstration while ensuring that it won't affect the production network.
