January 26, 20179 yr Hi there, i want to use unRAID as a Workstation Host System. This means, i want to run two Systems on one machine at the same time. OSX, to work with, and Windows for playing games if i want to. And i dont want to setup dualboot because its annoying to restart the computer everytime. This means also, i will start and stop the machine everytime i go to bed or i want to go on the pc, so it's not running 24/7. So what do you mean, can i use unRAID for this or should i buy an second pc?
January 26, 20179 yr You can use unRAID to do what you want but its going to take some work. unRAID support virtualization using KVM, you can certainly run a windows VM for gaming and a VM for OSX to work on, but would you want to run them at the same time? You will need to do some research on these forums, running a Windows VM is supported however OSX is technically not, however there are tutorials on the forums on how to do it, I suggest you check them out.
January 26, 20179 yr Author Okay thank you, yes i got already both VMs running, but i have some perfomance problems. And im thinking about to buy an newer cpu and mobo, but i thought to ask you guys, if its good what i want to do. I have an second PC with an Core i5 and 8GB RAM, so i could put on this machine OSX and my other machine for gaming, so i dont need to spend money. But i dont know, what i should do know Buy a newer components to get a good running multiboot system, or use to PCs and dont spend any money on new hardware... Mhhh thats really hard
