Installing an Operating System onto Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019

Question

I have downloaded and installed Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 on a laptop, I am using Hyper-V Manager in another laptop and have created a virtual machine in the Hyper-V Server.

Now, how to provide the OS to the virtual machine as it is neither reading a USB drive nor I do have a DVD of the OS to load it into the Hyper-V server device

If you have an ISO image of the OS install, you can attach that to the VM by creating a virtual storage controller and adding the ISO image to it.

If you don't have an ISO image and only what's on the USB flash drive, you can plug the flash drive into the physical VM host and under disk management, take that drive offline. Once it is offline, you can then add it to the virtual storage device and set that as your boot device.

The Microsoft Hyper-V Server does not have just more than a command line and does not read the USB drive. – Reshad Zazai Jan 11 '20 at 10:19
Use the Virtual manager from the other laptop to get the GUI – JurajB Jan 23 '20 at 04:05
Just prepare ISO image on your laptop, copy it to a folder inside Hyper-V server (via SMB) and add ISO image in Hyper-V Manager – batistuta09 Jun 10 '20 at 15:09
