This blog is covers what I did downloading, setting up and getting the OS running

Previous Part 1: Info

• I downloaded the zip file: I chose Hyper-V and Windows 10 Pro.
  It took me 3 tries (one due to a storm power failure) and lots of download time.
  Its 20 Gig!
• Extracted the file to a suitable location.
  You get folders with content:
• Snapshots
• Virtual Hard Disks
• And Virtual Machines
• Opened Hyper-V Manager and chose Actions-Import Virtual Machine.
• Browsed to the Virtual Machines folder and selected the folder.
  Nothing will show as selected but there is an XML file there (Inspect through File Explorer).
• Once downloaded edited the VM settings, eg add a Network.
• I found if I tried to run it now I ran into an error so I exited and rebooted.
• I was then able to start and connect to the VM.
• It then requested locality and related details.
• In the next screen it requested a Windows Pro license key. I got a new one from my MSD subscription.
• It then went to set up the OS, I used Express setting.
• It asked for an account name and password. Couldn’t use my global Windows account, had to be local.
• I chose Not Now for Cortana.
• It then went for a restart.
• I chose Full Screen and logged in.
• I found that I had to rejig my network switch (delete my VS and create an new one) including restarting the VM after reconfiguring its network connectivity.
  ..I hadn’t used Hyper-V since upgrading to Windows 10.
• I accepted making the OS visible on the local network so I could access it via Remote Desktop.
• I was then able to set the user login to my global Windows one.
• After verification of the above I then actioned updates as I was aware that there were some pending

Wala!
