在Windows 11/10中，您可以创建、使用、附加和操作虚拟硬盘文件^{(Virtual Hard Disk Files)}(VHD)，就好像它们是真实磁盘一样。这允许 Virtual PC 用户能够在实时Windows安装中安装他们的虚拟磁盘，而无需启动虚拟 PC 环境。在这篇文章中，我们将了解如何在Windows 11/10/8/7硬盘^{(Hard Disk)}文件作为真实硬盘^{(Real Hard Disks)}。

Windows 操作系统中的虚拟硬盘

在Windows 操作系统^{(Windows OS)}中，虚拟硬盘^{(Hard Disk)}或VHD可用作指定硬件上的运行操作系统，无需任何其他父操作系统、虚拟机或管理程序。虚拟硬盘^{(Hard Disk)}( VHD ) 是一种虚拟硬盘文件格式，这意味着它可以包含物理硬盘驱动器^{(Hard Disk Drive)}上的内容，例如文件、文件夹、文件系统和磁盘分区。

您可以使用Windows 磁盘^{(Windows Disk)}管理工具来创建VHD文件。您可以将.wim 格式的Windows映像部署到^(Windows)VHD，并且可以将VHD文件复制到多个系统。您可以为VHD中包含的^(VHD)Windows映像的本机或物理启动配置Windows启动管理器。此外^{(Furthermore)}，您可以将VHD文件连接到虚拟机，以便在Windows Server中与^{(Windows Server)}Hyper-V角色一起使用。本机启动 VHD^{(Native-boot VHD)}文件并非旨在或旨在替代所有客户端或服务器系统上的完整映像部署。以前版本的Windows不支持从VHD进行本机引导，它们需要管理程序和虚拟机才能从VHD文件引导。已经管理和使用VHD文件进行虚拟机部署的企业环境将从其功能中获得最大收益。

要在Windows Server上创建VHD，请安装Hyper-V服务器角色，创建VHD文件，然后启动虚拟机以将Windows从 CD 或DVD安装到^(DVD)VHD中的分区上。

在Windows 11/10中，本机引导虚拟硬盘^{(Virtual Hard Disks)}允许您创建和修改VHD文件，而无需安装Hyper-V服务器角色。要开始使用磁盘管理创建^{(Disk Management)}VHD，请单击开始^(Start)，在搜索^(Search)框中键入磁盘管理，然后按^{(Disk Management)}Enter。从操作^(Action)菜单中选择创建 VHD 。^{(Select Create VHD)}这将启动一个对话框，您可以使用该对话框指定新VHD的参数。

让我们详细看看这一点。

如何在Windows 11/10虚拟硬盘^{(Virtual Hard Disks)}

右键单击Computer > Manage > Left窗格> Disk Management。

选择操作选项卡 > 创建 VHD。

指定位置及其大小。完成后，您将看到一条通知：

VHD HBA driver being installed

如何附加虚拟硬盘文件^{(Virtual Hard Disk File)}

右键单击Computer > Manage > Left窗格> Disk Management。

选择操作选项卡 > 附加 VHD。

如何初始化虚拟硬盘^{(Virtual Hard Disks)}

右键单击Computer > Manage > Left窗格> Disk Management。

选择操作^(Action)选项卡> Attach VHD。指定位置。然后系统将装载VHD文件。

接下来右键单击VHD并选择Initialize Disk。

选择分区^(Partition)样式 > 确定。系统现在将初始化磁盘。

接下来右键单击VHD中的未分配空间并选择New Simple Volume。按照说明进行操作。

就是这样。打开您的资源管理器^(Explorer)，您将看到您的新VHD。

How to create a Virtual Hard Disk on Windows 11/10

In Windows 11/10, yоu can create, use, attach & manipulate Virtual Hard Disk Files (VHD’s) as though they are real disks. This allows Virtual PC users to be able to mount their virtual disks within a live Windows installation without the need of booting the virtual PC environment. In this post, we will see how to create & use Virtual Hard Disk files as Real Hard Disks in Windows 11/10/8/7.

Virtual Hard Disks in Windows OS

In Windows OS, a Virtual Hard Disk or VHD can be used as the running operating system on designated hardware without any other parent operating system, virtual machine, or hypervisor. A Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a virtual hard disk file format, meaning that it can contain what is found on a physical Hard Disk Drive, such as files, folders, file system and disk partitions.

You can use the Windows Disk management tools to create a VHD file. You can deploy a Windows image, in .wim format, to the VHD, and you can copy the VHD file to multiple systems. You can configure the Windows boot manager for a native or physical boot of the Windows image that is contained in the VHD. Furthermore, you can connect the VHD file to a virtual machine for use with the Hyper-V role in Windows Server. Native-boot VHD files are not designed or intended to replace full-image deployment on all client or server systems. Previous versions of Windows do not support a native boot from a VHD, and they require a hypervisor and virtual machine to boot from a VHD file. Enterprise environments that already manage and use VHD files for virtual machine deployment will find the most benefit from its features.

To create a VHD on Windows Server, you install the Hyper-V server role, create a VHD file, and then start the virtual machine to install Windows from the CD or DVD onto a partition in the VHD.

In Windows 11/10, native-boot Virtual Hard Disks allow you to create and modify VHD files without installing the Hyper-V server role. To get started and to create a VHD by using Disk Management, click Start, type Disk Management in the Search box and hit Enter. Select Create VHD from the Action menu. This launches a dialog box that you can use to specify the parameters for a new VHD.

Let us see this in detail.

How to create Virtual Hard Disks in Windows 11/10

Right-click on Computer > Manage > Left pane > Disk Management.

Select Action tab > Create VHD.

Specify the location and its size. Once this is done, you will see a notification:

VHD HBA driver being installed

How to attach Virtual Hard Disk File

Right-click on Computer > Manage > Left pane > Disk Management.

Select Action tab > Attach VHD.

How to initialize Virtual Hard Disks

Right-click on Computer > Manage > Left pane > Disk Management.

Select Action tab > Attach VHD. Specify the location. The system will then mount the VHD file.

Next right-click on the VHD and select Initialize Disk.

Select the Partition style > OK. The system will now initialize the disk.

Next right-click the unallocated space in the VHD & select New Simple Volume. Follow the instructions.

That’s it. Open your Explorer, and you will see your new VHD.
