I bought the PLUS version of the Unraid and been happy with it. I have updated it to latest version 6.6.6 and downloaded the latest Official ISO from MS. I have installed and got it up and running. Thanks to many threads and big shout out to Spaceinvader one for the youtube video. I have successfully got the VM to work and install without any hiccups. I am not able to do the GPU Passthrough ( want to passthrough the GTX 970 for the VM. My hardware Specs: 3x3 TB WD Red i7 4790k 16 GB G-Skill DDR3 RAM Asus Strix GTX 970 - GPU 1 Zotac GT 710 2 GB - GPU 2 Seasonic 650W Gold SMPS NZXT Switch 810 Full Tower Fractal Design 140mm Fans - 5 No.s Intel Stock CPU Cooler (Planning to upgrade via air cooling only - dont want a bulky one since it puts weight on the motherboard, AIO I don't want to take a chance) I have a spare 120 GB Samsung SSD (Want to use it for VM only - No necessity of a cache drive since I don't push files into an array on a daily basis. Attached Screenshots for Reference have tried all options in PCIe ACS override. but either all of them become separate ( each individual item or else both GPUs become a part of the same group. I am really stuck and want to get the VM up and running. Requirements of VM - Windows 10 (automatically switching on after switching on UNraid and starting the array) casual gaming, web browsing and mainly it is in the living room and needs to do HTPC duties. Downloads I plan to use another PC for the same else the parity will be continuously getting updated. ideally, I would also want the VM to download torrents too. A lot of thoughts in my mind but I need someone to help. I tried going through multiple threads but I couldn't find the solution. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, Suraj

Unraid GUI mode default is on. I have removed the VM also. Just running unRAiD. Buying the program tomorrow. Hope I get around the VM . That will be icing on the cake!

That's nice to hear. Will do the update to boot into GUI Mode. Will keep you all updated.

Requesting all experts I have come to accept that I cannot pass through the VM without any hiccups. I have some requests. I would like to buy unraid plus version (12 device limit) - will not touch this limit in the near future, hence opting for this. Can I atleast program the unraid to boot into GUI mode automatically. When me and my father are out on business trip, the computer will be shut down. Hence would like to unraid GUI so that I can ask my father to also learn. My requirements are as follows. 1. I switch on pc it boots unraid GUI and VM (currently not able to) 2. VM is without any lag or issues. 3. parity check schedule and other fine tuning I would require help. It took 9 hours + for partiy to completely finish without any issues. Is is the same every time? I am coming from flexRAID which I was using snapshot raid where only files which had changed would sync in an hour and I would get an email regarding the same.

Thank you all for your inputs. I had currently setup VM windows 10 machine. I installed it successfully including all the drivers. I had also setup Splashtop streamer and TeamViewer also. Now I wanted to pass the graphics card, USB, and Sound to the VM and directly boot it into VM. Unfortunately, I am getting a blank screen on that PC but I am able to access the unraid gui using another PC/Laptop successfully. Unraid is running but VM is not working properly. I followed the 2 part video guide and it resolved most of my issues but I am stuck with this. I want to setup permanently unraid gui on boot along with the machine also booting into VM automatically after all the issues are resolved. The PC running UnRaid is not for gaming or any heavy multitasking but only for general usage like browsing,playing music,microsoft office and general stuff. If the VM hardware passthrough is resolved, then I can take care of fine tuning the entire thing and finish the setup. I am able to successfully into the VM in VNC mode not when graphics card (NVIDIA GT 710) is selected. If someone could help me remotely it would be really helpful.

I couldn't get around using tight VNC properly. So I have setup splashtop and teamviewer. Currently using teamviewer as I am very familiar with it. Is there a permanent solution to this as I want VM as a daily driver and want to hand over the system to my parents.

A quick reply. My ISP does not provide me a Static IP. Through the router I have reserved an IP to the UnRAID server. As mentioned in the video, he uses a VNC client which is only available for Mac. I tried using TightVNC and real VNC but I was not able to connect it. Could someone help a newbie like me to solve that issue until unraid team addresses this issue.

Thanks man. Finally figured it out. Used this video. Will update and distrub you all after the entire process is complete. Its my first time and I was breaking my head for too long for this.

Hello all, My name is Suraj from India.Recently I decided to move permanently to UnRAID and requested a trial key 10 days back. I have followed all the documentation, guides, videos and enabled various settings/changes in BIOS as recommended. I want to run a single instance of Windows 10 (VM).I really need help in setting this up. I have left unraid to download the latest VirtIO drivers and also tried installing Windows 10/Windows 7 also. The issue is that I am not able to find the virtual hard drive to continue with the installation of Windows 10. I was directed by lime technology services team to take the help of the community before taking their help. Requesting all moderators, expert users as I am running short of time so I would require some urgent support. I shall buy the software as soon as things fall into place for my requirement. Please let me know if you need any more details.
