+# FULL GUIDE FOR HYPER-V VIRTUAL MACHINE OPTIMIZATION
+
+## Step 1 - Optimize Hyper-V VM
+Start by allocating 100% of the allocated processors to the VM in hyper-v manager
+
+## Step 2 - Host Processor minimum state
+In the power options of the Hyper-V host power plan, set the minimum processor state to 100% (or whatever you deem sufficient)
+
+## Step 3 - VM Processor minimum state
+In the power plan options of each virtual machine, set the minimum processor state to 100%
+
+## Step 4 - Reduce loading time
+Using this : https://github.com/levinium/D2RExtractor extract the install files from your D2R installation on host (making sure they are the right version) for faster load times - copy the install to the VMs
+
+## Step 5 - Instance arguments
+For the extract to work, add these game arguments to each bot : `-txt -direct`
+If using tinymod, your arguments should be like : `-mod tiny -ns -txt -direct`
+
+## Step 6 - MAC address
+Generate a mac address here : https://dnschecker.org/mac-address-generator.php (or whatever you want to use)
+In Hyper-V manager, when the virtual machine is off, in the "Advanced Features" option of "Network adapter" settings, set the MAC address to "static" and check "enable MAC address spoofing".
+Set the MAC address to the value you generated.
+
+## Step 7 - Remove windows bloatware
+Use this tool : https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil to remove a lot of unwanted bloatware from Windows 10/11
