+**Assumptions:**
+  * A working installation of Hyper-V Server. These instructions use Hyper-V Server 2012R2.
+  * A Virtual Switch configured within Hyper-V Server.
+  * Hyper-V Manager available, with the necessary permissions on the server.

 **Configuration:**
-... TBD ...
+!!Special Thanks ->!! Nick Mace graciously provided the following configuration detail.
-Finally, configure AstLinux using the normal **[[userdoc:new-install|setup]]**.
+Create a new virtual machine using Hyper-V Manager. If using Hyper-V Server 2012R2 or later, you must select a "Generation 1" virtual machine. The screenshot below shows a new virtual machine with the default configuration and a virtual hard disk attached:
-!!Tip ->!! Note the "IPv4 Address:" on the screen and access the VM with SSH or an HTTPS browser on the same network.
