Before starting installation set virtualization in BIOS, otherwise you will not be able to install Hyper-V.

1. Install WS2012R2. Add drivers (check device manager and event logs before proceeding)

2. Install Hyper-V role and restart.

3. Prepare virtual disk and install VM. 2012 R2 support automatic activation. VM keys are in Technet. Disable time synchronization of VM with host.

4. Install AD roles as needed.

Use guides from MS and numerous books that cover AD. Detailed description of all procedures are out of the scope of this forum.
