December 30, 20196 yr I would like to run Kodi on my Win10 VM. Not to play video, just to do database additions/corrections remotely. Would any PCIe x1 Video Card allow me to do it? One x1 slot is all I have left open on my motherboard. (x16 and x1 are taken for SATA and USB.) What's a good x1 video card to get? And I assume I'd get a side benefit of audio playback over HDMI from the video card for programs like Winamp too, no?
December 31, 20196 yr You shouldn't don't need a video card at all for your primary stated goal, VNC should work just fine.

And the download link page doesn't have the executable.
