Description

In this assignment, you will install virtualization software and a Windows Server 2016 operating system. The virtualization environment and Windows Server will serve as the basis for the remaining projects in this class.

The deliverables of this project will be a Microsoft Word document with screenshots of the installation process of the virtualization environment and Windows Server and the saved output from the msinfo32 command. Additionally, you will write in less than one page (double spaced) on your experience with installing this software. You should include what you learned in this process, what were the challenges, how you overcame them, and what resources you used that were the most helpful to you in completing this assignment in addition to answering the specific questions listed below

Your screen shots should include the following requirements:

- Each step of the virtualization platform install (other than the BIOS changes).
