Getting Hyper-V to work

Yesterday I was setting up Hyper-V on my new Windows 8 laptop I’ve got from work.

On my own laptop it all worked perfectly and I wanted to have an exact same config. So that’s what I’ve done. Only somehow I just not got it to work. Both laptops had the same configuration settings all identical but one worked and the other one not.

After a lot of auch and oofffs, and removing and creating new virtual switches in the Hyper-V Manager I founding the solution.

Just by disabling the Hyper-V adapter and enabling it everything started to work magically and running very smooth. I don’t have a clue why I had to do this for the first time ever but the disable/enable trick fixed the problem.
