those of you used to Microsoft Virtual PC will find it odd that you can no longer drag and drop files from your desktop to the virtual machine in Hyper V, but all is not lost, you can copy/paste files to/from the Virtual machine by using standard network sharing,
in the screenshot below I first connected to my virtual machine using Windows Explorer and browsed to the C$ share on the virtual machine, i then dragged a file from my desktop to that share, and you can see the file is present locally on the virtual machine which is also shown on the desktop (to the right)
