New features in Hyper-V for the Windows 10 Creators Update

When the Windows 10 Creators Update, the third major feature update to Windows 10 also known as Windows 10 version 1703, was released last month the Pro version of the OS received several updates for the included Hyper-V service/software.

I use Hyper-V for testing various updates to Windows 10 plus I keep other currently supported operating systems installed for reference and I know you as IT Pros and System Admins use Hyper-V on a daily basis as well. 

So when this tool becomes more robust and flexible it can make a big difference in our work flow.

Recently over on the official Microsoft Virtualization Blog, Sarah Cooley a Program Manager for the Hyper-V Team, shared details of these new enhancements for Hyper-V.

These include:

-- Quick Create VM

-- Checkpoint and Save for nested Hyper-V

-- Dynamic resize for VM Connect

-- Zoom for VM Connect

-- Networking improvements (NAT)

-- Developer-centric memory management

You can visit the Virtualization Blog to learn more details about these updates and also follow Sarah on Twitter to see what she shares about virtualization in Windows Hyper-V.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
