How to install the Hyper-V Management Tools for Windows 7?

Every time I need to install the Hyper-V Management tools on a Windows 7 installation I always have trouble finding the related installer and setting it up. 

If anyone else has this problem (or when I next forget) here is what you need to do:

  • Download the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 7 from here
  • Install the update
  • Then go to Turn Windows features on or off in your control panel

control panel

  • Under Remote Server Administration Tools and then under Role Administration Tools select Hyper-V Tools

Windows Features

You can then find Hyper-V Manager in your start menu
