Hyper-V dynamic memory causes problems with Windows setup

Windows 10 1703's incarnation of Hyper-V has a Quick Create feature that lets you, well, quickly create a VM from an ISO setup disk. I have sometimes run into problems, though, with the OS installation phase when using that creation mode. Quick Create enables dynamic memory with a minimum RAM of 512 MB. This is apparently not always enough memory for Windows setup, because setup can fail with an inability to display the license terms. If this happens, the solution is to disable dynamic memory and try again.
