I am new (really new) to virtualization and this is my first few hours with Hyper--V. So bear with me.
I am on a standalone PC running windows 8.1. The machine is on a local network but in workgroup NOT domain. Currently the machine runs a web server on IIS.
I added the Hyper-V as per the instructions and have the Manager up. I followed the steps to create the VM and all seemed to go very well. UNTIL I tried to connect to the Virtual machine. I get a dialog "YOUR CREDENTIALS DIDN'T WORK". It then shows my machine name and wants a password. (My machine is Edge 2 and the VM is VMTest) It wants the credentials for Edge2. Edge2 is NOT a user on my machine, it is the Machine name. There is only one user on the machine and that is me as the administrator.
I cannot find an answer that gets me away from this situation. I know its likely pretty simple but please point it out to me as it eludes me.
