Select the Hyper-V role and click ''Next'' to proceed. The next screen will provide information about Hyper-V and its hardware requirements. After reading this information, click ''Next'' and to display the ''Create Virtual Networks'' screen.
In order to communicate with the external network, virtual machines need to be able to use a physical network adapter installed on the host computer system. Hyper-V controls this access by creating one or more ''virtual networks'' to which virtual machines are connected. In terms of access to the external network, there is a one to one correlation between virtual networks and physical network adapters installed into the host computer. Multiple virtual networks may not share the same physical network adapter. This stage of the Hyper-V installation process provides a list of network adapters detected on the host system and provides the option to select the devices for which virtual networks are to be created:

With the required network adapters selected from the list, click on ''Next'' to display the ''Confirmation'' screen, review the configuration information displayed and click ''Install'' to initiate the installation process. Complete installation of Hyper-V requires a system reboot.
