Requirements

As always, I look around the internet for some guides to base my own labs on. And mostly, I only write about them when the guide doesn't match up with reality. So let's start herearrow-up-right.

I won't get into all the requirement details yet, I'll introduce them as we go. For now you'll need this:

  • Windows 2016 iso

  • A computer running Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016, we're going to do nested virtualisation as we're going to run VM's in our hypervisors (which are also VM's). Look here arrow-up-rightfor all the requirements. You could try Vmware workstation or Virtualbox. Please, let me know if that works out for you.

  • An Intel CPU. I'm not kidding, go back to the requirementsarrow-up-right.

  • My computer has 32 GB of ram. More is better, but you should be able to pull it off with 16 GB as well. I wouldn't recommend trying it with less, the experience might be frustrating.
