This tutorial provides step-by-step guidance about the creation (in Part 1) and subsequent extension (in Part 2) of a lab image based on Windows 11. 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’s image management practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configure OS Disk and Image Size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Important Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The selection of OS Disk Type<\/strong> and Image Size<\/strong> is exclusively relevant to the image creation process. This choice is entirely independent of the virtual machine sizes used later to instantiate the Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) host pool. Specific VM sizes and configurations for your AVD host pool will be defined separately during host pool creation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2: Prepare the Base Windows 11 Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3: Install Visual Studio Code<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4: Configure the Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5: Confirming the Image<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Assuming that the educator, or another educator, wants to later extend the Web Development tools (which already include VS Code) with new ones such as Jupyter or others\u2014 the objective of this tutorial is to show you how to extend a previously created image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2: Boot the Image and Prepare for Extension<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3: Install Jupyter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4: Confirm the Extended Image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By following these steps, educators can create a robust virtual lab environment featuring Visual Studio Code on Windows 11, tailored to their course requirements and optimized for student engagement and learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":8979,"menu_order":0,"template":"","manualdocumentationcategory":[32],"manual_doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-9113","manual_documentation","type-manual_documentation","status-publish","hentry","manualdocumentationcategory-clover-documentation"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
