I'm running a Windows 2012 Server and created a Windows 7 home virtual machine on it. Whenever the virtual machine boots up it will not recognize the network adapter and cannot connect to the internet. The host machine connects just fine. I've also created a virtual switch and double checked the settings for the Virtual Machine and the switch is selected as the network adapter. I don't know why it's not working.
Side note: I tried this earlier with a copy of Windows 7 pro as a test run and everything worked like a charm but I didn't have a extra license so I deleted it and created this one.
