If you're going to disable all Visual effects, I would still recommend keeping the following enabled: Smooth edges of screen fonts Show window contents while dragging Show thumbnails instead of icons

@SysGuides sounds really cool, thanks a lot, just curious, is it possible to export your configuration in a file to decrease human monkey-repeating operations?

Followed your step-by-step to the letter... Thoughts on this? Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: storage type 'dir' requires use of storage format 'fat''

Awesome Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴ Is it the same procedure for Windows 10 professional?

@SysGuides Ай бұрын

You’re most welcome. Yes, the procedure is the same for Windows 10 Professional. Make sure to use virtio-win.iso version 0.1.240. fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/

i would like to install on an existing windows machine and so would need to create a P2V of the original system and then install linux (Alma) then use KVM to create the VM from the ?VHD image from ?Disk2VM (would other converters be better and why)....it would be nice to access files from the image without having to create a VM and copy and paste them.

How can I troubleshoot audio issues within a Windows guest operating system hosted on Linux, and would it be possible for you to create a video tutorial illustrating the troubleshooting process?

@jesse7631 17 күн бұрын

I can switch over to Virtio for the display driver in the properties, and it allows me to resize the resolution, but still not auto-size and can't include 2560 x 1440. Strange

My Win11 installation is hanging after the UEFI startup screen, during the rotating spinner... I suppose something went wrong but I cannot figure out why...

@ytfeelslikenorthkorea 2 ай бұрын

what's the performance penalty? I don't expect to game on this, but running Lightroom at a usable pace would be nice (I have AMD gfx)

@SysGuides 2 ай бұрын

Since the VirtIO guest tools have been installed, which include QXL drivers, I believe you should be able to run Lightroom without issue.

This is good. But how do we passthrough a USB printer and a USB flash drive from Linux host to Windows 11 guest in KVM?

@SysGuides 2 ай бұрын

In the Windows 11 VM's 'Show Virtual Hardware Details', click 'Add Hardware' -> 'USB Host Device' and select your USB device. Then, click Finish. Your USB device will now be available in the Windows 11 VM.

@seppneimusser5723 Ай бұрын

Which Rocky version do use, 8 or 9? I can't install QXL or SPICE...

@SysGuides Ай бұрын

Download the stable virtio-win version directly from the website and try it. fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.240-1/

@jesse7631 17 күн бұрын

When I use QXL for the display output, I am not able to change the resolution on the Windows 11 guest, and it's stuck on 1280 X 800. I have it configured exactly as you have included on the tutorial, but it's not working correctly. And I don't have the option to auto resize the VM to Windows

Unfortunately, I do not currently have any graphics cards. I'll do it once I get my hands on one.

@@SysGuides Cool, thanks! Also, Why didnt you chose to manually set the CPU topology? I followed the tutorial but assigning 12 cores now shows a just 1 cpu at task manager, and the cpu reaches 100% easily.

@AleksandarJeremic-du3jc 2 ай бұрын

Hello can you game on this. Games like pubg and fortinite without losing performance so much

@jasonsnell708 2 ай бұрын

not unless you do GPU passthrough, which means you'll ONLY be able to run Windows vs. the native OS. I've tried this several times only to find out it's one or the other, you can't run the native OS AND Windows VM. I went back to vmware workstation and/or Bottles (testing and playing around with both)

@johnsimmonds2922 Ай бұрын

I have installed virtio drivers. However, I cant get auto resize screen to work. Im stuck on 1280x800 resolution too. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. ☺️👍

@SysGuides Ай бұрын

Have you used the virtio-win version 0.1.248 ISO file? This version does not support QXL, so auto-resizing is not possible. Use version 0.1.240 instead. The link is here: fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/

@johnsimmonds2922 Ай бұрын

You are absolutely correct! Thank you so much for the help and the speedy reply. Keep up the excellent work my friend. Thank you!😊👍
