Like one of my colleagues said, the post name is unlike me. Why have I decided to go the “Street Way” in solving a problem? Microsoft Hyper-V has been around for a while but it will surprise you that only few actually understand the product in detail. I am going to share with you the way I consider the “Street Way” of cloning Hyper-V Virtual Machines. It is recommended to use the import and export method that Microsoft provide but what if you are having issue with that method – maybe you should take it the “Street Way”. The concept of cloning is all about having to setup a new system from an existing system without having to reinstall the entire OS + drivers.
