MCSA Hyper V question

    Hi folks,

    So am going to be doing the MCSA server 2016 course next month and was hoping to set up a few servers on my home machine using Hyper V but just noticed that it's Windows Home Edition :rolleyes:

    Rather than pay the full whack to upgrade to Windows Pro, is it possible to "rent" a server on which I can install Hyper V and one virtual server for not crazy money for a month. Server doesn't even need good specs, just something that I can play around on?

    Thanks for any suggestions folks

    I have found a cheaper solution. I have enabled virtualisation on a spare laptop in work and installed Hyper V on that which should do the trick :)

    Microsoft don't charge for Hyper-V.
    They allow a 180 day trial for Windows server OS.
    This + VM snapshots......

    heres a link to the Hyper-V iso

    Also you could get a trial of Azure and spin up a VM

    Hadn't thought of Azure. Thanks will look into that!

    Much appreciated
