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 here.

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 for 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 requirements.

• 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.
