October 29, 20232 yr Trying to to run UNRAID to work in windows hyper-v VM for testing/playing with configs etc. I have gotten as far as booting but it gets stuck on detecing the label UNRAID. I've tried creating a VHDX file in windows volume labeled UNRAID with EFI and MBR, the VM is Gen 2 to enable EFI support. I did the manual install steps by copying and pasting the zip file contents to the created VHDX then windows.bat as admin, efi- folder renamed to efi. Booted off the VHDX in the VM but now I am stuck with the below picture. Is there something I am missing or anyone know how to get this working if possible?

October 29, 20232 yr You have to be able to pass the Unraid flash drive through to the VM to get Unraid to finish booting. I could never get this working in Hyper-V so nowadays I use VirtualBox instead to run Unraid in a VM for development/testing purposes on my Windows system. If there is a way to pass through the flash drive in Hypet-V I would love to know what it is.
