hi oli11e

the first step install windows server 2012 r2 standard onto laptop using either bootable usb stick iso image or dvd if laptop has one.

if need let me know.

once have installed , rebooted , logged administrative user (default administrator) need open server manager application , @ top click manage add roles , features.

then need click through wizard until see select server roles.

select hyper-v , complete wizard accepting defaults ask create virtual switch - can either or leave until later.

a virtual switch allows virtual machines connect each other, host , / or external network.

once have installed hyper-v (and rebooted)  can install server 2012 r2 vm (x2)

the link below steps through installing hyper v installing vm.

good luck, let me know if need more help
