Installing a Fresh Windows OS to a New Bootable VHD with no Host OS for Boot to VHD

I’ve always enjoyed using VHDs but I generally had a host OS first, then installed a bunch of VHDs that I made bootable. Recently I’ve changed all of this on my laptop after a coworker took the time to show me a way with more flexibility (thanks Paul Stubbs!). The idea is simple: take a clean drive with no host OS and add or remove bootable VHDs as needed. These steps describe steps that enable a few scenarios for me that allow me to: Install a fresh OS to a new bootable VHD with no host OS on the computer already Copy existing VHDs to my physical drive and make them bootable Boot to any of my VHDs and copy others on, or take some off.
