Hyper-V Memory and Disk Allocations - Common Values

This post Is more of a reminder for myself opposed to something you will struggle to find elsewhere on the internet.

I work with Hyper-V a lot, bizarrely memory allocation is done in MB (who assigns less than a gig of RAM nowadays!) and disk space in GB (Fair enough, but I find myself creating 1tb+ VHD’s more often than less than a TB)


The table below lists some common conversions
