Hi,
Simple tip.

1. Cancel the Initial Configuration Wizard on the physical host
2. RUN -> Regedit
3. Remove the registry key telling the Wizard to auto-load:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Delete the entry named: EssentialsRoleConfigWizard

4. Open Server Manager and remove ALL roles/features, EXCEPT those specified below:
* ROLES left installed: Storage Services
* FEATURES left installed: .NET Framework 4.5(no ASP or WCF), SMB 1.0/CIFS, Graphical Management Tools, Server Graphical Shell, PowerShell 4.0, WoW64 Support
5. After removing roles/features and rebooting, you can go ahead and install the Hyper-V role then create your VM

Enjoy.
