What is the Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter Driver?
The Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter is a network interface that enables virtual machines (VMs) to communicate with the host operating system and with each other over a network. It is a virtual network interface that allows VMs running on a Hyper-V host to access both the local network and the internet, as well as to communicate with other VMs within the same virtual network.
When you enable Hyper-V on a Windows machine and create virtual machines, the system automatically installs virtual network adapters for each VM. The Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter driver is the software component that allows your physical network card to interface with the virtual adapters and establish the network connectivity needed for the VMs.
