Virtual machine

[callum pilkington]

As part of a college side project I'm going to be running multiple virtual machine, on a singular desktop. there are 4 virtual machine needed to be made. one is windows sever 2016 and the other 3 are windows 10. Lastly I have 3 other external computers that each requiring remote access to Windows 10 Virtual machine. My Question is how would I do this. by saying how would I do this I meant the entire process like the configuring of the operating system and how to set them up in virtual machines

What Hypervisor are you using? If you haven't decided and want something quick and dirty, I would recommend VirtualBox, since it's free and pretty easy to use. You can just install it like any application on your host operating system. The following steps will work in most other hypervisors as well:

1. create your virtual machines

2. change the network settings of the machines from "NAT" to "bridged mode". Your VMs should now get an IP from your router like any other pc in your network does.

3. I would reccomend using the pro version of windows 10 in all machines. That makes accessing them a lot easier. Just turn on remote desktop procotol in every machine and use that, to connect to them over your network.
