#TAKE A SNAPSHOT WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE#

Memory snapshots create a snapshot at a precise time, for example, to upgrade software that is still working. When you capture the virtual machine's memory state, the snapshot retains the live state of the virtual machine. The default selection for taking snapshots. Depending on the task that you are performing, you can create a memory snapshot or you can quiesce the file system in the virtual machine. If you revert to the snapshot, communications between the virtual machine and the server are confused and the file transfer fails. For example, if you take a snapshot while the virtual machine is downloading a file from a server on the network, the virtual machine continues downloading the file and communicating its progress to the server. The potential for problems is greatest if the virtual machine is communicating with another computer, especially in a production environment. The best time to take a snapshot from a service perspective is when no applications in the virtual machine are communicating with other computers. The best time to take a snapshot from a storage perspective, is when you are not incurring a large I/O load. When you take a snapshot, other activity that is occurring in the virtual machine might affect the snapshot process when you revert to that snapshot. When you take a snapshot, you can also quiesce the virtual machine files and exclude the virtual machine disks from snapshots. You can take one or more snapshots of a virtual machine to capture the settings state, disk state, and memory state at different specific times.
