  1. Pick a Tested Template

    Choose from privacy, security, and Linux templates with sane Hyper-V defaults baked in.

  2. Prepare the ISO Asset

    Download directly when supported, or choose a local ISO file. Every asset is SHA-256 verified.

  3. Create and Run Locally

    Create the VM, start it, and open the Hyper-V console — all from one window.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

No, the current release requires Windows 11 Pro, Education, or Enterprise because it uses Hyper-V.

For some templates, EZVM can download the ISO directly. For others, you'll need to download the ISO manually and point EZVM at it.

After installing an OS from an installer ISO, use Boot Disk to detach the installer and boot from the virtual hard disk instead.

Some Linux distributions can have display compatibility issues with Hyper-V. Use the Repair Display action to reset video settings.
