Creates a Boot2Docker virtual machine locally on your Windows machine using Hyper-V. See here for instructions to enable Hyper-V. You will need to use an Administrator level account to create and manage Hyper-V machines.
Note: You will need an existing virtual switch to use the driver. Hyper-V can share an external network interface (aka bridging), see this blog. If you would like to use NAT, create an internal network, and use Internet Connection Sharing.
$ docker-machine create --driver hyperv vm

--hyperv-boot2docker-url: The URL of the boot2docker ISO.--hyperv-virtual-switch: Name of the virtual switch to use.--hyperv-disk-size: Size of disk for the host in MB.--hyperv-memory: Size of memory for the host in MB.--hyperv-cpu-count: Number of CPUs for the host.--hyperv-static-macaddress: Hyper-V network adapter's static MAC address.--hyperv-vlan-id: Hyper-V network adapter's VLAN ID if any.
