rennige Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi, I have been reading a bit around how to setup a Windows 10 VM under unraid for gaming purposes. This looks like a great advancement, however I haven't got my head around the best method to access the VM. From what I have read and seen, you can access the VM's via a)RDS, b)VNC, c)direct connection to the server. Currently I have unraid installed on a server in the cupboard. If I am to keep it there, then are only options a) and b) available? and what is the performance of this? thanks. Quote Link to comment

Depending on actual distances and topology of your house then c) might still be viable by laying long cables. HDMI can carry video successfully for significant distances, and so can USB for peripherals. Quote Link to comment

GHunter Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Think they meant RDP, which is Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol. You use the protocol to connect to your remote PC (VM in this case) and the all the screen data is transferred and viewed on the local PC.
