Delete Checkpoints for Hyper-V Virtual Machine in Windows 11
This tutorial will show you how to delete checkpoints for a Hyper-V virtual machine in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Hyper-V enables running virtualized computer systems on top of a physical host. These virtualized systems can be used and managed just as if they were physical computer systems, however they exist in virtualized and isolated environment. Special software called a hypervisor manages access between the virtual systems and the physical hardware resources. Virtualization enables quick deployment of computer systems, a way to quickly restore systems to a previously known good state, and the ability to migrate systems between physical hosts. One of the great benefits to virtualization is the ability to easily save the state of a...
