Hyper-V Nested Virtualization Setup

Table of Contents

    • CPU: Intel i7 13700KF “Core” (No integrated GPU in the CPU)
    • RAM: 32GB
    • SSD: WD Black 2TB M2
    • External Media: 32GB SSD Thumb Drive
    • Host OS: Windows 11 HOME (Hyper-V Manager and functions must be added to this OS)
    • Guest OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
    • Nested VM: vJunos-router-23.2R1.15qcow2 (lite-mode developer licensed image. No license requirement)
    • Prerequisites: I am not covering how to enable the motherboard/cpu virtualization functions. It is fairly easy and straight forward. But is Vendor/Bios specific. So please follow your hardware vendor instructions for enabling virtualization at the hardware level. And I will hopefully help the software manipulation easier from there.

    Run as administrator!
