Which three actions should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
You have a Hyper-V host named Server1. A technician creates a virtual machine named VM1 on
Server1 by using the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
You start VM1 and you discover that there is no option to start by using PXE.
You need to ensure that you can start VM1 by using PXE.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate three
actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

Answer: See the explanation

Explanation:
Box 1: Shut down VM1.
Box 2: Modify the virtual switch settings of the legacy network adapter.
Box 3: Modify the BIOS settings of VM1.
Note:
Step 1: The VM need to be shutdown first.
Step 2:
1. You need to create a virtual switch. This is needed for the Virtual Machine to be able to
communicate with the network. If you already have created a virtual machine for your network, you
can skip this step. Start by right-clicking the Hyper-V host in Hyper-V Manager and selecting “Virtual
Switch Manager”.
2. Create a new Virtual Switch. Select “External”, which is similar to “Bridged” if you’re used to other
virtualization software.
3. Give the new Virtual Switch a name.
4. By default, there is only a “Standard Network Adapter” installed on the Virtual Machine, but for
PXE functionality you will need to add a “Legacy Network Adapter”.
5. Go to the “Legacy Network Adapter” that you just added and specify that it should use the Virtual
Switch that you just created.
Step 3: you should change the BIOS boot priority to make sure that the Virtual Machine always tries
to boot first using the “Legacy Network Adapter”. Just select the “Legacy Network Adapter” and
move it to the top using the buttons.
Step 4: Start your Virtual Machine and now PXE boot should work.

Why not “Add a legacy network adapter to VM1” as second?

Usually you do not need to shutdown your VM. If you Hot-Add a NIC and there is no OS, it will cycle through availiable boot options.

You can not add any hardware if VM is running.
