Error on pre VM OS install

Post by blackitalian »

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
16GB Ram
2TB hard drive

The 2019 template may have a bug in it. Make a new VM, use the 2016 template for Server 2019, and make sure that the VM's System settings, Acceleration, Paravirtualization Interface* says 'Hyper-V'.

(* 'Paravirtualization Interface' is a comm channel for virtualization-aware OS's to talk to whatever hypervisor is running them, so they can run more efficiently. Setting this to Hyper-V does not turn on the host OS's Hyper-V.)

That resolved my issue, I needed to use the 2016 template. Thank you.
