I've created a Hyper-V Virtual Machine running Linux. It works fine but when I is installing it doesn't recognize the mouse and all of the computer components(eternet card and hard drive). Why?

I think you are missing the integration services for Linux.

The follow link provides the services:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41554

•Integrated Mouse Support: Linux Integration Services provides full mouse support for Linux guest virtual machines.

•Driver support: Linux Integration Services supports the network controller and the IDE and SCSI storage controllers that were developed specifically for Hyper-V.

I've tried installing the services but it says that the Linux distro I'm using isn't supported. (I'm using Kali Linux) PS: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46842 this is an updated version of the services

On another computer it worked just fine. I recognized everything and I could use it. On my computer it doesn't. The two computer are very similar(on my computer there's only more memory) – Alessandro Lioi – 2015-10-23T11:00:23.077

Can you copy the exact error that you get when trying to install the integration services? – Smeerpijp – 2015-10-23T11:01:55.500

It isn't an error it just says that the OS isn't supported. Nothing more, nothing less – Alessandro Lioi – 2015-10-23T11:56:12.797
