Jul 10, 2015 You can setup a new Virtual Machine using Hyper-V, but you will have to provide your own Windows XP license. Windows XP Mode is not compatible with Hyper-V.' Elsewhere Andre Da Costa says 'Please note your existing Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode will not work in Windows 10.' Jan 22, 2013 In this video tutorial we will show you how to install virtual machine on Mac. In order to install virtual machine on Mac, open 'Safari' browser. Go to the 'virtualbox.org'.

Learn how to create a virtual machine and install an operating system in your new virtual machine. You will need an .iso file for the operating system that you would like to run. If needed, grab an evaluation copy of Windows 10 from the TechNet Evaluation Center.
Create a Virtual Machine with Hyper-V Manager
- Open Hyper-V Manager by either pressing the Window's key and typing 'Hyper-V Manager' or by finding Hyper-V Manager in your applications.
- In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New > Virtual Machine to bring up the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
- Review the ‘Before You Begin’ content and click Next.
- Give the virtual machine a name.
Note: This is the name Hyper-V uses for the virtual machine, not the computer name given to the guest operating system that will be deployed inside the virtual machine.
- Choose a location where the virtual machine files will be stored such as c:virtualmachine. You can also accept the default location. Click Next when done.
- Select a generation for the machine and click Next.
Generation 2 virtual machines were introduced with Windows Server 2012 R2 and provide a simplified virtual hardware model and some additional functionality. You can only install a 64-bit operating system on a Generation 2 virtual machine. For more information on Generation 2 virtual machines, see the Generation 2 Virtual Machine Overview.
If the new virtual machine is configured as Generation 2 and will be running a Linux distribution, secure boot will need to be disabled. For more information on secure boot, see Secure Boot.
- Select 2048 MB for the Startup Memory value and leave Use Dynamic Memory selected. Click the Next button.
Memory is shared between a Hyper-V host and the virtual machine running on the host. The number of virtual machines that can run on a single host is in part dependent on available memory. A virtual machine can also be configured to use Dynamic Memory. When enabled, dynamic memory reclaims unused memory from the running virtual machine. This allows more virtual machines to run on the host. For more information on Dynamic Memory, see the Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Overview.
- On the Configure Networking wizard, select a virtual switch for the virtual machine and click Next. For more information, see Create a Virtual Switch.
- Give the virtual hard drive a name, select a location or keep the default, and finally specify a size. Click Next when ready.

A virtual hard drive provides storage for a virtual machine similar to a physical hard drive. A virtual hard drive is required so that you can install an operating system on the virtual machine.
- On the Installation Options wizard, select Install an operating system from a bootable image file and then select an operating system .iso file. Click Next once completed.
When creating a virtual machine, you can configure some operating system installation options. The three options available are:
- Install an operating system later – this option makes no additional modification to the virtual machine.
- Install an operating system from a bootable image file – this is similar to inserting a CD into the physical CD-ROM drive of a physical computer. To configure this option, select a .iso image. This image will be mounted to the virtual CD-ROM drive of the virtual machine. The boot order of the virtual machine is changed to boot first from the CD-ROM drive.
- Install an operating system from a network-based installation server – This option is not available unless you have connected the virtual machine to a network switch. In this configuration, the virtual machine attempts to boot from the network.
- Review the virtual machine details and click Finish to complete the virtual machine creation.
Create a Virtual Machine with PowerShell
- Open up the PowerShell ISE as Administrator.
- Run the following script.
Complete the Operating System Deployment
In order to finish building your virtual machine, you need to start the virtual machine and walk through the operating system installation.
- In Hyper-V Manager, double-click on the virtual machine. This launches the VMConnect tool.
- In VMConnect, click on the green Start button. This is like pressing the power button on a physical computer. You may be prompted to ‘Press any key to boot from CD or DVD’. Go ahead and do so.
Note: You may need to click inside the VMConnect window to ensure that your keystrokes are sent to the virtual machine.
- The virtual machine boots into setup and you can walk through the installation like you would on a physical computer.
Note: Unless you're running a volume-licensed version of Windows, you need a separate license for Windows running inside a virtual machine. The virtual machine's operating system is independent of the host operating system.
-->To connect to the Android Emulator running on a Mac from a Windowsvirtual machine, use the following steps:
- Start the emulator on the Mac.
- Kill the
adb
server on the Mac: - Note that the emulator is listening on 2 TCP ports on the loopbacknetwork interface:The odd-numbered port is the one used to connect to
adb
. See alsohttps://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#emulatornetworking. - Option 1: Use
nc
to forward inbound TCP packets received externally on port 5555 (orany other port you like) to the odd-numbered port on the loopbackinterface (127.0.0.1 5555 in this example), and to forward theoutbound packets back the other way:As long as thenc
commands stay running in a Terminal window, thepackets will be forwarded as expected. You can type Control-C inthe Terminal window to quit thenc
commands once you're doneusing the emulator.(Option 1 is usually easier than Option 2, especially if System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall is switched on.)Option 2: Usepfctl
to redirect TCP packets from port5555
(or any other port youlike) on theShared Networking interface tothe odd-numbered port on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1:5555
in this example):This command sets up port forwarding using thepf packet filter
system service. The line breaks are important. Be sure to keep themintact when copy-pasting. You will also need to adjust theinterface name from vmnet8 if you're using Parallels.vmnet8
isthe name of the special NAT device for the Shared Networkingmode in VMWare Fusion. The appropriate network interface inParallels is likelyvnic0. - Connect to the emulator from the Windows machine:Replace 'ip-address-of-the-mac' with the IP address of the Mac, for example as listed by
ifconfig vmnet8 | grep 'inet '
. If needed, replace5555
with the other port you like from step 4. (Note: one way to get command-line access toadb
is via Tools > Android > Android Adb Command Prompt in Visual Studio.)
Alternate technique using ssh
If you have enabled Remote Login on the Mac, then you can use
ssh
port forwarding to connect to the emulator.- Install an SSH client on Windows. One option is to installGit for Windows. The
ssh
command will then be available in the Git Bash command prompt. - Follow steps 1-3 from above to start the emulator, kill the
adb
server on the Mac, and identify the emulator ports. - Run
ssh
on Windows to set up two-way port forwarding between alocal port on Windows (localhost:15555
in this example) and theodd-numbered emulator port on the Mac's loopback interface(127.0.0.1:5555
in this example):Replacemac-username
with your Mac username as listed bywhoami
. Replaceip-address-of-the-mac
with the IP address ofthe Mac. - Connect to the emulator using the local port on Windows:(Note: one easy way to get command-line access to
adb
is viaTools > Android > Android Adb Command Prompt in Visual Studio.)
A small caution: if you use port
5555
for the local port, adb
willthink that the emulator is running locally on Windows. This doesn'tcause any trouble in Visual Studio, but in Visual Studio for Mac itcauses the app to exit immediately after launch.Alternate technique using adb -H
is not yet supported
In theory, another approach would be to use
adb
's built-in capabilityto connect to an adb
server running on a remote machine (see forexample https://stackoverflow.com/a/18551325).But the Xamarin.Android IDE extensions do not currently provide a wayto configure that option.Microsoft Pc Virtual Machine Mac Osx
