Keystrokes don't apply to the Hyper-V VM only the host

Hello Community

    From dvd I installed WS2012 R2 Evaluation on a physical machine.

    Then I installed Hyper-V and created a VM which and then
 installed that same WS2012 R2 Evaluation dvd onto the VM.

    The problem is that although I created the VM it just appears
 on the screen. The  VM screen displays:

    "Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to sign in."

    However any keyboard key that gets pressed only affects the
 physical machine (host).

    The only thing I can do to the VM is drag it around the screen
 or with the mouse click the toolbar selections with the mouse but
 I can't access the VM with keystrokes.

    In other words I can't sign-in to the VM and promote it to a
 domain controller or do anything else to it.

    The Virtual Manager\VM  shows:
         "State" is "Running"
         There is only one Network Adapter and it is the Virtual Switch with an IPIPA Ip address.
         512 MB RAM

    Why doesn't the VM acknowledge keyboard keystrokes?

    Thank you
