\"Hey, How can I change the startup order of my virtual machine on my laptop running Windows 8?<\/p>\n

\"Hey, You can verify the startup order of your virtual machine by piping the results of Get-VM<\/strong> to the Get-VMBios<\/strong> cmdlet, as shown here.<\/p>\n

08:11 C:\\> get-vm c2 | Get-VMBios<\/p>\n

VMName StartupOrder                            NumLockEnabled<\/p>\n

—— ————                            ————–<\/p>\n

C2     {CD, IDE, LegacyNetworkAdapter, Floppy} False<\/p>\n

To change the startup order, pipe the results to the Set-VMBios<\/strong> and supply the order as an array. The following illustrates the technique.<\/p>\n

08:12 C:\\> get-vm c2 |<\/p>\n

  Set-VMBios -StartupOrder @(“IDE”,”LegacyNetworkAdapter”,”CD”,”Floppy”)<\/p>\n

08:13 C:\\> get-vm c2 | Get-VMBios<\/p>\n
