In the creation phase, we install Visual Studio Code (VS Code), and in the extension phase, we add Jupyter. This tutorial serves as a reference for installing various IT tools compatible with multi-session support on Windows 10 and 11, referencing Clover&#8217;s image management practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-1-creating-a-new-lab-image-with-windows-11-and-vs-code\">Part 1: Creating a New Lab Image with Windows 11 and VS Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-create-a-new-lab-image-based-on-windows-11-with-vs-code\">Step 1: Create a New Lab Image Based on Windows 11 with VS Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Initiate Image Creation in Clover<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log into your Clover administrator account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Image Management<\/strong> and select <strong>Create Image<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.

Enter Lab Image Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide a clear and descriptive <strong>Lab Image Name<\/strong>, e.g., <em>&#8220;Web-development-tools&#8221;<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Windows 11<\/strong> as the base operating system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Set Administrator Credentials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Define the <strong>Administrator Username<\/strong> and a strong, secure <strong>Password<\/strong> for the image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record these credentials carefully, as they&#8217;ll be needed to access and manage the image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.
