Yeah, it seems to be how many people configure Windows - bring up a 
random control panel, and randomly stab at tick boxes until it does 
something vaguely like what you want ! I perhaps exaggerate a bit ...

There is something else to be aware of with Hyper-V - be prepared to 
add superfluous network ports. It might have been just early versions 
from when we started using it at work, but I know they had some 
problems that were only solved by adding separate ports for host and 
guests.
You know, trivial details like networking stops altogether if you try 
moving a large file - really handy when attempting to move a VM image 
to another host.
And something to do with networking not working right if you had host 
and guests sharing a port - probably linked with the above. I didn't 
take notes, I recall a certain level of frustration from those 
involved.
