6. Install Hyper-V switch, select Internal This was my biggest frustration with Microsoft since many blog posts and Hyper-V documents want you to add a External switch. I found this did not work using a Wi-Fi laptop. I will show you the correct way to do this to enable internet connection to the VM along with adding network folder access to share files between your host laptop and virtual machine. For now just be patient, I will go over these steps later for you. 7. Create an internal Hyper-V network, and give it an obvious name. Do not worry about the other settings you see in the figure below. I will cover that later.
8. Open the Network Connections folder on your host laptop (i.e. Network and Sharing Center) Select the wireless adapter and the new Hyper-V internal network you just created, right-click one of them and choose "Bridge Connections". After a few seconds a new item will appear in the list called "Network Bridge".
9. Open up Hyper-V Manager manger with your VM turned off. This time go to the bottom right panel and click Settings and under the Hardware section, click Add Hardware. In the Add Hardware dialog, select Network Adapter and click Add 10. Once added, the Network Adapter properties open. Select the Virtual Switch you created earlier. Mine is called External Wifi , Enable Virtual Lan Identification and select 2. My other options are: Enable Bandwidth Management: disabled Enable virtual machine queue: enabled Enable IPSec task offloading: enabled Maximum number = 512 Offloaded SA Dynamic MAC Address Protected network: enabled Mirror Mode: none 11. Restart your VM. Your VMs should instantly get access to the Internet as long as they are mapped to the new internal network you have created. 12. One thing I should mention though is that the use of a wireless card to provide network services to Hyper-V is not a supported configuration by Microsoft, although it does work very well :-)
