Personally I prefer Hyper-V but you can setup either, with VMWare you'd need to use the trial version so that the features are available for you to setup and learn.Īs far as building up your lab, start with one machine, then add more when you can afford it and you've got to a point where you've learnt as much as you can with a single box.
