Arideen Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi, As I am new to Unraid, I need some assistance, so hopefully someone can help :) I want to use Unraid to get a windows 10 os running and a linux os on the same machine. Currently I have the following hardware: CPU: Intel G4560 Motherboard: MSI H110M PRO-VH Ram 8GB 450W PSU 2 X SSD´s (one 120 Gb and one 240 GB) 2 x Mechanical Drives (both 1TB drives) GPU: Onboard (CPU) I thought about splitting the above in two, and have one machine run Windows 10 and the other Linux. So is the above possible with what I have, or not plausible? Quote Link to comment

Arideen Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi Squid, thanks for your honesty Highly appreciated! Would it then be possible to use Unraid to power on one machine with all resources? consequently then powering it down and let the other machine boot up using all resources? only storage being assigned specific to each system? Also I only want to remote into the WM's! Quote Link to comment
UNOPARATOR Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 If this is your only use case, then wouldn't it be easier and cost free to make your machine dual boot? I love unRAID but just saying. 😉 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Just let Unraid have all the storage and either VM can access it. Quote Link to comment
Arideen Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi UNOPARATOR, Yes that could be an option, but I want to be able to switch between the two machines without having to attach a keyboard and monitor The machine is standing in a storage room. But thanks for the honest answer! And thanks Constructor! Quote Link to comment
