# HyperV Builder
The HyperV Packer builder is able to create [Hyper-V](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/solutions/virtualization.aspx)
virtual machines and export them.
- [hyperv-iso](/docs/builders/hyperv-iso.html) - Starts from
an ISO file, creates a brand new Hyper-V VM, installs an OS,
provisions software within the OS, then exports that machine to create
an image. This is best for people who want to start from scratch.
- [hyperv-vmcx](/docs/builders/hyperv-vmcx.html) - Clones an
an existing virtual machine, provisions software within the OS,
then exports that machine to create an image. This is best for
people who have existing base images and want to customize them.
