Share Button

Having fun on a Saturday, recorded this nice benchmark showing the improvements booting from the network between Hyper-V Gen1 VMs w/Legacy vs. Gen2 VMs w/Synthetic. For more details, check out Aidan’s blog (http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=14913) or Technet for more details on Gen2 VMs.

The Gen1 w/Legacy took about 11 minutes end to end while the Gen2 w/Synthetic finished in about 8 minutes.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or just want to leave feedback, please do so below.  Thanks for reading!
