This is a Hyper-V best practice. If you have only one LAN/VLan, then use one
NIC for the two Virtual Machines and the other only for connecting to the
Hyper-V server.

The best practice realy is aimed at Hyper-V servers running many
(4,5,6,7,8...) VMs to avoid Network IO bottlenecks.
With your two VMs, it's unlikely the NIC will be your bottleneck.

If connected to the same LAN, you could even use one NIC for each Virtual
Machine, but I'd stick to one for Management and the other for the VMs.
