Rob SFO Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I am in the process of gathering parts for my first unRAID build. Is it possible to convert my existing physical Windows 10 system into an unRAID VM, before I have the unRAID server installed? I will be cannibalizing parts from my current system for the build, so my current physical Win10 system will no longer be online once the unRAId system is built. I found this guide, which seems to indicate that I could simply pass though the existing disks to a VM and boot Windows from those? https://exitcode0.net/how-to-pass-through-a-drive-to-a-unraid-vm/ However, I'm not sure I want it to run from the disks forever, I'd prefer to convert it to a vdisk. Would it be possible do the passthrough method to bring up the VM, then migrate the VM from physical disk to vdisk? Thanks! Rob Quote Link to comment
