To create a master virtual machine

1. Launch Hyper-V Manager. 
   
   
   To launch Hyper-V Manager, click Start >> Windows Administrative Tools >> Hyper-V Manager.
2. On the menu bar, click Action >> View >> Virtual Machine to start a virtual machine creation wizard.
   
   
   
   Click Next to proceed.
   
   
3. Specify Name and Location of the virtual machine.
   
   
   For your convenience, specify meaningful name and easy path structure for the virtual machine. 
   
   Click Next to proceed.
   
   
4. Select generation for the virtual machine.
   
   
   
   Generation determines the virtual hardware and functionality that is presented to the virtual machine. In previous versions of Hyper-V, there was only one generation of virtual machine but starting with Windows Server 2012 R2, you can create two types of virtual machines such as Generation 1 and Generation 2. 
   Generation 1:Generation 1 virtual machines support legacy drivers and uses Hyper-V BIOS-based architecture.
   
   Generation 2: Generation 2 virtual machines are Microsoft Hyper-V virtual servers that use the second generation of virtual hardware and supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware instead of BIOS-based firmware. The majority of legacy devices have also been removed from generation 2 virtual machines and it requires 64-bit guest operating system.
