Nested virtualization enables you to create a multi-VM environment inside a lab's template virtual machine. Publishing the template will provide each user in the lab with a virtual machine set up with multiple VMs within it. For more information about nested virtualization and Azure Lab Services, see [Enable nested virtualization on a template virtual machine in Azure Lab Services](how-to-enable-nested-virtualization-template-vm.md).

The steps in this article focus on setting up nested virtualization for Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, or Windows 10. You will use a script to set up template machine with Hyper-V. The following steps will guide you through how to use the [Lab Services Hyper-V scripts](https://github.com/Azure/LabServices/tree/main/ClassTypes/PowerShell/HyperV).

Now your template machine is ready to create Hyper-V virtual machines. See [Create a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V](/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/get-started/create-a-virtual-machine-in-hyper-v) for instructions on how to create Hyper-V virtual machines. Also, see [Microsoft Evaluation Center](https://www.microsoft.com/evalcenter/) to check out available operating systems and software.
