To run the app, you only have run the VM and then run the app. This is also applicable for software that can only run on older versions of Windows.
·         Your virtual machine can be maintained by bringing it to your desktop, work on it and then send it back to its main environment. The simplicity and maintenance ease of hyper-v is noteworthy. It really takes all the stress away from creating and maintaining more than one copy of operating systems in one computer.
·         It is not just limited to two operating systems only. With hyper-v, you can create many virtual machines to house as many operating systems as you want to test and use. All these will be operating from one computer system.

Requirements Needed to Use Hyper-V
It is important to know that the computer system needed to use hyper-v to run several virtual machines for many operating system installations should fulfill the following:
·         It should at least Windows 8 or higher versions installed as it primary operating system.
·         It must have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. This should increase is so many virtual machines are to be created and tested.
