zarfx4 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi. Stupid question, but I have gotten myself confused. To run a VM (suck as windows) do you "need" CPU/mobo virtualization support? Or are there options without it. I'm running a core i3 at the moment. Do I have any options or am I looking at new hardware? Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Your CPU needs to support virtualization and VT-D as well. What is the exact model of your CPU? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 You only need vt-d and iommu support of you want to passthrough hardware directly to the vm. If you don't need that then you can pretty much run a vm on any mobo and cpu Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
zarfx4 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm not looking to pass much if anything to the VM. I really just want to run a basic version of windows inside my machine and then RDP into it and automate some tasks Quote Link to comment
