| + | I have not used Windows on a VM now since circa 2021. Just no need. I do have a dual boot on my main desk top that I default to Debian testing and can boot to Windows 11 when I need to use Windows based software. | ||
| I had poor performance on Windows 7, 8/8.1, and 10 running on KVM a few years back. A large frustration was that I could not seem to get more than 2 CPUs functioning on the Windows VM even though I assigned 4. Performance was very poor, with CPU usage usually saturated with any use and relatively high even when idle. I found out early that Windows has limitations on the number of CPUs that could be used; 1 on Home, 2 on professional and 4 on Workstation and more on Server versions, at least that was my understanding. | I had poor performance on Windows 7, 8/8.1, and 10 running on KVM a few years back.
