Documentation about Virtual Machines

As virtual machine platform, I use Hyper-V as built into Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit. I had used VirtualPC under Windows Vista before.

I am using various virtual machines:

Windows 10 itself to test software in a "sand box" like environment.
Debian Linux based and TinyCore Linux based, to securely browse the web.

The Debian VM provides:

browsing using the Firefox browser.
file exchange via FTP
data exchange with the Windows VM-host via the clipboard
- The Linux-GUI is provided by XRDP (not by X-Org). XRDP integrates well with Windows.

Since version 1803, Windows 10 offers the Microsoft Edge browser in the "Application Guard" secure environment. This is also using virtual machine technology. Application Guard provides:

file exchange via a special folder
clipboard data exchange
- Needs to be explicitely enabled in Application Guard

I use Edge in Application Guard, if I need Edge functionality
