Creating A Window Virtual Machine, RDP into it, Add a data disc to window virtual machine.

What is a virtual machine?

A virtual machine is like a computer within a computer. It's a software-based version of a physical machine, complete with its own:   CPU: Processes instructions  

Memory (RAM): Stores data while the VM is running  

Storage: Holds files and applications  

Network interface: Allows it to connect to the internet or other networks.

What is RDP?

RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol. It's a network communication protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to connect to and control another computer remotely. This means you can access and interact with a remote computer's desktop, files, and applications as if you were sitting in front of it.  

What is a data disc?

A data disc is a type of disc used to store electronic data, such as files and applications.

It's similar to an audio CD but is specifically designed for storing data.
