In 2008 i wrote about using vmware images with virtualbox. To migrate a host from virutalbox to Hyper-V, you have to do nearly the same, but you have to convert the hdd:

• Convert your Virtualbox-hdd with VBoxManage.exe clonehd:
  (from vdi to vhd)

C:\Users\schroff>"\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" clonehd
"c:\Users\schroff\VirtualBox VMs\Debian64-DS\Debian64-DS. (more...)

After knowing, that running a linux inside Hyper-V is only working with the "legacy" network adapter (look here), i was trying to build a kernel with the drivers (Microsoft has added the drivers into the Linux kernel versions >2.6.32).
There is one nice tutorial out there:

The installer runs through this points:

1. Name & path of the virtual machine
2. RAM
3. Network (how to configure a virtual switch with internet connectivity or how to configure internet connectivity with (more...)

In my last posting i explained how to configure a vEthernet adapter to get connectivity to the internet. But there was one "problem": You had to provide one seperate IP for each virtual host, you want to connect to the internet.
But there is a solution (NAT) for this problem (more...)

First thing you have to do after enabling Hyper-V is to set up your network for your virtual machines. This is not so easy, because some things do not work...
So let's start: Open the Virtual Switch Manager
There you have three options:

1. external (connectivity to the internet)
2. internal (connectivity (more...)

If you are running a Microsoft Windows 8 Professional, you can use Microsofts virtualization platform Hyper-V. To get the management window you have to open

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Hyper-V Management Tools

and double click the icon:
If this icon (or the path) is not there, you have to enable Hyper-V:
