In the simple view, all you will see is “Enable VMs” and “Default Windows VirtIO driver ISO”. Navigate to the Settings tab, and click on VM Manager.

Next we’ll need the virtio (virtual input output) drivers for our new VM. Then from your computer where you downloaded the iso, navigate to the share and copy your fresh new iso over to it. By default this share is not public so to access it from your other computer, click on the Shares tab, click on the isos share, then under “SMB Security Settings” change the Export option to Yes and click apply. Next you will need to copy this iso file over to your unraid server, and we’ll want to put this in the isos share. In this case you can download the media creation tool and select “Create installation media” and then “ISO file”.Īlternatively, you could follow these steps to spoof your browser to think you’re on a mac so it will give you a direct download link. If you’re on Windows however, it will prompt you to download the media creation tool. If you are on a Mac or Linux machine, this will prompt you to download the ISO file which is what you’re looking for, just select your language and the 64-bit download and you’re all set. You can get this from the official Microsoft website.

The first step is downloading the most recent disk image for windows 10 from Microsoft. I have read many reports that this has solved peoples problems. NOTE - If at any point things just aren’t working, try switching your graphics card to a different PCIe port on your motherboard. Once thats all set, you can boot up your server and continue with the next steps. The steps to do this may vary between different brands of motherboards, but in my case (with the MSI bios tools) I had to navigate to the startup section, find the “Initiate Graphic Adapter” section, and change it from PEG (PCI Express Graphics) to IGD (Integrated Graphics Device). The one step that is unique to this process is making sure the card is not set as our systems default bios from the startup screen.

I’m not going to go into this, as I’m sure anyone who’s trying to go through this process either already knows how to do this or can figure it out on their own.

Here I am going to try and lay out all of the specific steps I went through to get my machine up and running so hopefully you don’t run into the same issues I did! Step 1: Install the Graphics Cardīefore we even start downloading anything, we’re going to need to install our graphics card. And you might be thinking “gaming on a virtual machine? that sounds terrible!” but in reality it runs with close to bare-metal performance. I recently decided to add a Windows 10 virtual machine to my unRAID server so I could potentially start gaming with it, and I ran into all kinds of strange issues. It also takes my windows box out of the equation for a multi-hour operation where I might want/need to sleep,reboot or suffer a crash.Setting up a Windows 10 Virtual Machine on unRAID with an NVIDIA Graphics Card Of course for small quick stuff i just do it via windows, but when I'm moving entire libraries (rare but it happens) it is just easier to do it without getting my network involved. But in either case it then hammers your network and seems unnecessary when you can just perform the move completely internal to your unraid boxen. It is especially bad for a lot of small files, not so much for a batch of huge files. Perhaps worst on SMB and not worth noticing on NFS (I can't validate that, I don't use NFS). However it IS slower (at least on my system) because you do get hit with a network overhead penalty. Even with a fast array are only likely to use about half of the bandwidth of a well functioning Gig-E network. The result is 1) you are running at array read/write speeds and 2) you end up moving data in both directions over your network. By default, and I know of no way to change it, UnRaid will not use the cache drive for files that already exist on the system. Moving disk to disk means an array read to an array write, and the cache drive does not come into play. The result is that no data moves across your network and in fact no data even moves within the array. It just changes the file location without actually moving the file. Moving within a disk via windows operates at the speed of a console rename/move.
