SnapshotsSnapshots

PrinciplesWork vhd-file = When VM is started, changes go into this vhd-file

Term does not exist. I made it up for explanatory reasons

Snapshot = Freeze current state, so that you can go back laterWhile VM is off, or while VM is running (includes saved state)Snapshot files and settings will never change laterWhen started later, changes go into attached work vhd-fileOnly single snapshot can have a work vhd-file (and can be started)

Apply = Attach new empty work vhd-file to this snapshotClears existing work vhd-file

Revert = Re-attach new empty work vhd-file to current snapshot

Clears existing work vhd-fileIs same as: Apply on current snapshot

Delete = Remove snapshot from UISnapshot files are not deleted

Pass-through disk accessPass-through disk access

NetworkingNetworking

PrinciplesParent has physical network adapter(s)Each guest (and parent) has virtual network adapter(s)Each virtual network adapter is connected to a virtual switchType of virtual switch is:

External – connect to physical network adapterInternal – parent and guests connections onlyPrivate – guest connections only

ConfigurationUse Virtual Network Manager to create virtual switchesUse VM Settings to assign virtual network adapter to switch
