Hi folks
Latest version of W11 Pro for workstations (28120.2302) running as a VM under KVM/QEMU seems fastest Windows yet -- provided you install the virtio windows drivers (this acts like Windows tools / additions on vmware workstation / player or oracle vbox) the system boots nearly instantly and runs very nicely - no probs at all so far -- running on an HP laptop with intel CORE vpro i7 CPU and using 16GB RAM of the 32GB in the laptop.
Host OS : Fedora (pre-release 45)
Kernel : Linux 7.1.0-0.rc7.260611g9716c086c8e8.50.fc45.x86_64
CPU : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 (8) @ 4.80 GHz
graphics : GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.35 GHz [Integrated]
No issues so far -- if W11 had started out like this - then very few complaints -- installed seamlessly as a VM !!
Runs better than my older 64GB RAM desktop type PC !!! running in Nartive mode !!. Same OS on both.
Even Windows Networking is functioning correctly !!! (apart from that minor niggle of you need to enter a remote machine name to get access to shared disks on the networked dcomputer - but you can then pin it to windows explorer so only needs to be done once.
I expect though Ms will hose this up again at the next update though !!!!!
Added -- I don't use secure boot (see no reason for that on a HOME PC !!) or bitlocker -- see no reason for that either on a home PC -- secure stuff I leave on the cloud or off line on other devices !!- plus for the VM it 's simpler to use an emulated TPM - on most linux distros this is usually installed automatically if you enable KVM / QEMU virtualisation but can be installed manually -- use your own distro package manager for that.
For the virtio-windows drivers just download the iso from the fedora site - these tools are universal for Windows VM's created under most Linux distros. Run the install FROM THE VM - of course !!!.
Cheers
