How to get HP ALM to run HP UFT scripts remotely on Windows 10 workstation/hosts - hp-uft

We currently have UFT 14.03 installed on our workstations/hosts along with ALM 12.50.32 installed on our ALM server. We have the HP ALM Lab Service installed on the workstations/hosts to allow ALM to connect remotely and run the UFT scripts on them.
I want to upgrade the workstations/hosts to windows 10 (since 7 is quiet old). But I can't seem to find a windows 10 installer for the HP ALM Lab Service. If there isn't one anymore, how do I get the ALM server to be able to communicate with those workstations/hosts to be able to run the UFT scripts remotely? I need the same setup/configuration we have now with windows 7 on windows 10.

I actually finally found somewhere online we could get a ALM Lab Service installer for Windows 10 that would work.

Downloaded the 64 bit, got everything installed and configured on my windows 10 workstation and everything worked!

Install Windows 7 on Google Cloud

Im totally new to Google Cloud. I got free uses for some time from google.
I want to setup a lab. So I want to install Windows 7 on Google Cloud.
Thanks
The image for Windows 7 is not available, you can create a custom image, upload it and then create an instance with that image, but honestly I would not follow this path if you have just started and you want only to run a Windows server.
So, if you don't really need Windows 7 for some reason and you want to run a Windows virtual machine the easiest thing to do is to create an instance using one of the available images:
Windows Server version 1709 Core for Containers (Beta)
Windows Server version 1709 Core
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2012 R2 Core
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016 Core
Windows Server 2016
In order to do so go to the Console, enter in Compute Engine, VM instances, click on create instance, at this point from the tab that will be opened select the Windows image that you prefer and set up the machine as you like. Wait some minute and you will be able to connect to it through RDP.
Note that there is a Quickstart guide in order to help you in the process.

Not able to log back into my Windows machine after Hyper-v installation

I have a Windows 10 machine. Recently I have installed Hyper-V 2016 server on my machine. From then whenever I start my system I only see a blue screen with various commands. I do not see any other thing other than that. Now how can I go back to my normal Windows machine?
See this image for reference:
you had Windows 10 installed on your machine now you have Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016.
I assume you downloaded an ISO and installed that one. Whereas within Windows 10 you only have to activated a feature called Hyper-V.
Grap your latest Backups and install Windows 10 back onto your machine.

Docker on a Server 2016 Virtual Machine

I've already tried running Docker on a Windows 10 Virtual Machine without any success. I understand why, so I've given up trying to enable this. However, it's got me thinking about Windows Server 2016. As I understand it, Windows Server 2016 has docker included as a component/service, instead of an 'Add On' as it is in Windows 10. Are there any reasons why a Microsoft Server 2016 Virtual Machine would not support docker? This is more for convenience than anything else. Dual-booting with windows 10 isn't a major issue and we've done that, but it does mean in certain circumstances I have to reboot to windows 8 for certain organisation-specific content that I can't access in Windows 10.

Is it possible to run the Windows Phone 7.1 emulator in an Amazon EC2 instance?

Background:
My firm has a new client who has asked us to build a Windows Phone 7.1 app. Our team wants to leverage Amazon's EC2 instances to set up our CI servers to avoid the need to have to requisition and acquire hardware for the project. We will need a Windows build agent to build the Windows Phone app.
Problem:
Setting up the Windows build agent is proving difficult. To build the Windows Phone app, we need the WP 7.1 SDK installed, however it is not supported on Windows Server and officially requires Windows Vista or Windows 7. With a workaround by Aaron Stebner I can get the SDK installed, but the Windows Phone emulator doesn't work. We can compile and run unit tests, but functional tests are not possible without the emulator.
Is it possible to enable to Windows Phone emulator to work on Windows
Server 2008 or 2008 R2?
Is it possible to create a Windows Vista or
Windows 7 instance on EC2?
You can't create Windows vista or Windows 7 on EC2. One solution will be to use Virtualbox inside an Ubuntu instance but I don't think it will work because EC2 already use an hypervisor ...
Maybe you can find an other cloud provider or buy a VPS.
