Configuring All Windows Systems in Virtual Machine — Windows 7, 10 & 11 (Part 12) | Hack With Ankush
In this step-by-step tutorial (Part 12 of the Hacking Lab series) I show how to configure Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows 11 inside virtual machines for a secure, high-performance penetration testing lab. Learn practical VM configuration, performance tuning, secure networking, snapshot strategy, and Windows hardening techniques for ethical hacking practice. This guide focuses on virtual machine setup, lab isolation, and Windows optimization so you can build reliable target machines for pentesting, malware analysis, and red-team/blue-team exercises.
Why watch? If you’re building an ethical hacking lab or testing environment, this video covers essential topics: CPU/RAM sizing for Windows VMs, enabling UEFI and virtual TPM for Windows 11, installing guest additions (VMware Tools / VirtualBox Guest Additions), configuring NAT/Host-Only/Bridged networks, setting static IPs, disabling unnecessary services for performance, and safely simulating vulnerable Windows targets. Perfect for cybersecurity students, beginners in penetration testing, and lab builders.
What you’ll learn (high-value highlights):
Recommended VM specs for Windows 7 / Windows 10 / Windows 11.
Enabling virtual TPM & UEFI for Windows 11 compatibility.
Installing guest tools for drivers, clipboard & shared folders.
Windows Update strategy, snapshot before patching, and rollback best practices.
Network isolation: NAT vs Host-only vs Bridged for safe testing.
Creating golden images, exporting OVA, and sharing lab machines.
Installing Sysinternals, OpenSSH, Nmap, and PowerShell modules for testing.
Troubleshooting VM boot, drivers, and activation issues.
Ethical & legal reminder: only test systems you own or have explicit permission to test.
Practical commands & quick config (examples shown in video):
winrm quickconfig — enable WinRM for remote PowerShell.
net user TestUser Password123! /add — create test user.
netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet" static 192.168.56.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.56.1 — set static IP.
