How to copy config settings for Hyper-V quick create VM

Question

When I create a VM using Hyper-V manager "quick create" it has properties that I like such as resize window, copy/cut/paste with host. However, it uses a Win11 Evaluation version which expires in 90 days. When I create a new VM, I can use a Win11 install iso disk, but the properties like window resize are not available or not working. I want to know how I can create a new VM with settings like those used in the quick create process. Or better yet, I want to know how to change the settings for my new VM to match the settings used in quick create.

Hi Tony,

Hope you're doing well.

As far as I know, there is no way to archieve this. You may follow the following doc to create VM:
