March 3, 20233 yr After 30 minutes of searching, I can't find anything that actually matches what I see in the VM manager and I have no idea what options I should be choosing, nor which files to download to install Windows 11. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
March 5, 20233 yr This is my set up for the OS install you will need to download windows 11 image and select.
July 28, 20232 yr @arretx I just wrote this guide on creating a Windows 11 VM with GPU passthrough on Unraid, I hope it helps! Edited July 28, 20232 yr by N3z

Just to warn people - this link takes you to a site that uses one of those "your system has been infected with a virus, click here to fix" scam popups. Sure an ad blocker usually avoids them, but still. Not worth supporting scummy people with traffic.

Are you sure your system isn't infected with something? It does have ads down the side when I turned of ublock, but nothing out of the ordinary I could see.

March 25, 20242 yr Author That link is chock full of malicious garbage. What happened to the actual guide?

Newer Nvidia cards that 3000 series and above don’t need VBIOS dumps and the guide was updated with CPU optimizations for the hypervisor.
July 20, 20241 yr So, dumb question.. the PC I plan on running unRaid on has an i7 processor which isn't WIndows 11 compatible. Will that matter if I install Windows 11 as a VM on unRaid?

Will that matter if I install Windows 11 as a VM on unRaid? You should be fine. I am running 3 WIN 11 VM's on an HP z820 without any issues. The ISO that I used came from Windows X-Lite.
October 24, 20241 yr I guess I will resurrect this thread, I am not sure what is wrong with these settings, but I end up in the UEFI console instead of it trying to install Win 11. Probably something stupid on my part, but would appreciate any guidance...

October 24, 20241 yr @kesx Here you are. Let me know if you have any other questions. By the way, you can get rid of the Install ISO once you are up and running. WIN11-1 WIN11-2 WIN11-3 WIN11-INFO Edited October 24, 20241 yr by peterbata
