Still haven't been able to get it to work with an install from a windows iso in unraid. I ended up getting an old OCZ drive and doing a windows install on it outside of unraid. Then I just manually linked the drive to a VM. I'm not planning to try and convert the drive to a vdisk unless I run into space issues down the road.

I have tried that and it didn't work. My VM install is from an ISO, and the windows license I have is for windows 10 not an upgrade from 7. I did the install twice. Once entering the key and once not entering the key. I've tried transferring the license using a key linked to a Microsoft account, and I have tried entering the product key. The issue seems to be that windows is looking at more than just the uuid. Both VMs I created ended up as separate items in my windows account. If you look at the screen shots of the VM and the original account, the original account shows the motherboard in the second line under the computer name, and the VM shows "Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)".

I can't get my OEM license to activate. I have cloned the uuid, and it shows as the same when I do a wmic csproduct get uuid command from the VM. My understanding is the OEM license is tied to the motherboard which is the same. The only difference is I'm running it inside a VM. On the windows activation site the only difference is the original license listed the model of my motherboard, but the new one lists "Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)". That shows up when you do a wmic csproduct get name. Is it only possible to activate retail licenses, or do I need to add more lines to my XML file?

This happened to me and it was the motherboard BIOS settings. Before you do the pass through make sure you enable RDP. Then after it boots, RDP to it from another windows machine. Also check the IP of the VM it will be different from your server. Make sure your onboard video is set to be the primary video card. I had the same symptoms, but everything looked fine when I connected with RDP. I tried dumping the video BIOS settings for my 1060, but that just caused the driver to fail with a code 43. Once I setup the motherboard BIOS correctly the screen came up.

The first question is how do you delete a VM. I created a windows 10 VM, and I'm trying to delete it through the web interface. All I get is a set of red spinning arrows, and then it goes to a square icon indicating the VM is stopped. Is there something I'm missing, or can this only be done through SSH? Does the cache drive have to be synced? Also, where would I find the correct log file, I can't seem to find anything relevant.
