Hi Stephan,

Indeed, I could install virtual box,

But where could I find info on how to use it and in particular to install windows on top of openindiana ?

Thanks,

Marc

Hello,

My laptop (HP Elitebook 820 G3 with core i7 6600U @2,6HHz) is running openindiana most of the time but some programs are only available on windows and some times I have to reboot it on windows (currently windows 10). The particularity of this notebook is that it includes 2 SSD disks, a sata (openindiana, 1Tb) and a NVMe (windows 512 Gb).


However I would prefer to run windows in a virtual machine on top of opendiana. Is this possible and, if yes, how ?

Thanks

Marc

Hi!

I am using Win10 within VirtualBox. I think you can get this to work with Win11 by enabling TPM...

Bhyve is an other option, then you have to setup Windows via VNC and - after anabling net and RDP within Windows - RDP into your virtual win11 machine.

i believe, a test with VirtualBox is an easier start (?)


Regards,
Stephan
