                     Windows Virtual Machines
What is a Virtual Machine?
• Definition: A virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a physical 
computer that runs an operating system and applications.
• Key Points:
• Acts like a physical computer but is software-based.
• Runs on a hypervisor, which manages multiple VMs on a single physical 
machine.
Introduction to Windows Virtual Machines
• Definition: A Windows Virtual Machine is a VM running a Microsoft 
Windows operating system.
• Key Points:
• Offers the same functionality as a physical Windows computer.
• Used for development, testing, and production environments.
Hypervisors for Windows VMs
• Key Points:
• Type 1 Hypervisors: Run directly on hardware (e.g., Microsoft Hyper-V).
• Type 2 Hypervisors: Run on a host OS (e.g., VMware Workstation, 
Virtual Box).
• Microsoft Hyper-V: Built-in hypervisor in Windows Server and Pro 
editions.
Benefits of Using Windows VMs
• Scalability: Easily create and manage multiple instances.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduce hardware costs by running multiple VMs on one 
physical server.
• Isolation: Separate environments for different applications or users.
• Disaster Recovery: VMs can be easily backed up and restored.
Use Cases for Windows VMs
• Development & Testing: Safely test software in isolated 
environments.
• Legacy Applications: Run older Windows applications 
that aren't compatible with newer systems.
• Training & Education: Provide students with sandboxed 
environments.
• Cloud Deployments: Utilize in cloud platforms like Azure 
for scalable solutions.
Managing Windows VMs
• Tools:
• Windows Admin Centre: Centralized management for 
Windows VMs.
• Azure Portal: Manage cloud-based Windows VMs.
• PowerShell: Automate VM tasks with scripts.
• Monitoring: Importance of tracking performance, 
updates, and security.
Security Considerations
• Key Points:
• Updates: Regularly update VMs to patch vulnerabilities.
• Network Security: Use firewalls and network 
segmentation.
• Backup & Recovery: Implement robust backup 
strategies.
• Access Controls: Limit access to VM management 
interfaces.
Conclusion and Q&A
• Summary: Recap the importance and 
benefits of Windows VMs.
• Q&A: Open the floor for questions.
