November 21, 20169 yr I've been using VM's since they became possible in unRAID. I've tried to keep up on best practices, but life happens, and I'm out of touch with current best practices. I've got 2 Windows 10 Virtual Machines, but only one will start now, and it's starting to act wonky and no longer wants to use the NIC assigned to it. Rather than keep trying to 'fix' these issues as they occur, I'd rather just start over and setup a Windows VM from scratch, using the best methods to maximize my aging hardware. I can't seem to find any sticky or any recent thread laying out the current methods and abilities. I'm on very slow and restricted satellite internet, so any video tutorials are difficult for me. If there is a good one (or several), and get not-terrible speed between midnight and 5am, but that's 4 hours away at this point. I have 2 GPU's installed, but would prefer to use my iGPU if possible. I thought I saw something recently that this is possible now, but I can't find that thread again. Which machine type is recommended which BIOS which network bridge is there any reason not to select USB 3.0 should all busses be SATA, or VirtIO is storing the VM image on an unassigned SSD a good idea, or bad for some reason is ACS override still necessary, and would it not be if I (re)moved a GPU is this any better/easier on the most recent beta build vs 6.2.4 is it a good or bad idea to setup a new VM, but point to an existing Windows installed image (vs installing windows from scratch) Anything I'm not thinking to ask, or other suggestions to get me to the most recent/capable setup? Thanks in advance for any help My signature should reflect current hardware setup.
