1. Benefits of dual systems.

In the mobile computing era, users are increasingly demanding application experience. When IT hardware reaches a peak, using software to improve the application experience is now widely used by many IT products. Therefore, the operating system is very important for products.

The development of the entire IT trend can be controlled in the operating system world, which is why Microsoft relied on Windows to dominate the world. After being challenged by the mobile market, Microsoft also accelerated its layout in the all-ecosystem it circle. Windows 8 is a brand new operating system launched by Microsoft for the PC and tablet markets.

After two years of training, the Windows 8 operating system has achieved good results. More importantly, today's Windows 8 operating systems have joined more enterprise-level applications. For enterprise users, such a design will undoubtedly provide more help at work.

Hyper-V is a very practical virtualization function provided in Windows 8 operating systems. This feature is not available in Windows XP/Windows 7. Previously we had to use VMware Workstation or VirtualBox to install dual systems, but some software may cause VPN clients and other problems.

Hyper-V

The biggest user of Hyper-V is that we can build our own virtual machines and install your favorite operating systems so that you can enjoy different system functions. This is an outstanding feature for some netizens. Ubuntu is a very popular open-source operating system. In the past, due to application restrictions, it was difficult for users to build two systems on another platform, the emergence of Hyper-V makes this ideal a reality. Today, let's take a look at how to run Ubuntu on Windows 8.

2. supported the installed platform.

Installation Platform

• CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K
• Memory: 32 GB (consisting of 8 4 GB memory)
• Motherboard: ASUS P9X79 WS
• Hard drive: Corsair forc4120 GB, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB
• Power Supply: Corsair AX850 850 w 80 Plus Gold

First let's take a look at our testing platform. In terms of processor, we chose the Core i7-3930K, which is a consumer-oriented processor with excellent performance. Asus P9X79 WS is a server motherboard With 8 memory slots. We have installed 4 GB memory, which is mainly because the VM has high requirements on memory.

Next we will start the installation.

In Windows 8, we need to use Hyper-V manager to create a new virtual machine. When the Hyper-V Wizard of Windows 8 is opened, give the descriptive name of the virtual machine.

Name

When creating a new virtual machine, we need to name it. You can name this based on the version you have installed, in case there are too many different virtual machines in the future and you cannot tell the system.

3. Memory settings.

Memory Allocation

The Installation Wizard provides clear instructions. After naming, We need to allocate memory. Memory needs to be allocated according to your system requirements. For Ubuntu systems, 2 GB memory is enough.

Network Settings

The next step is to configure the virtual network. To make the entire installation process easier, we use an external vswitch.

Hard Disk allocation

Now you need to configure a virtual hard disk. We can set the disk size according to the operating system requirements. Compared with other operating systems, Ubuntu does not occupy much space. We set it to 60 GB.

ISO

In the next screen, this will be easier to set. You only need to select the ISO you want to use.
