    error create and start vm windows 7

    Can you post your VM config? The Task Error you posted is hard to read. Also, do you really have two socket CPU? Do you mean to use 1 Socket with 2 cores? kvm_init_vcpu error is usually related to having wrong cpu settings.

    [SOLVED] Intel coffee lake gGVT issue.

    I also tired making ...00105 ID as the error message, it says the ID already exists. So it does look for existing uuid. As noted by apkoval, putting full PCIID works fine.

    reduce virtual machine disk size

    One option that was possible was backup the VM/LXC. Then to edit the config file for the backup, for example 10G drive to 5G drive. Then restore the backup. When it restored it had the size of the drive you edited the config to.

    [SOLVED] Selecting proxmox primary boot graphics card

    Since Coffee Lake GVT-g is not supported yet in the current Proxmox kernel (5.0.18-1pve), I solved my issue by using "pci-stub.ids=xxxx:xxxx" function.

    VirtIO Drivers Windows 10

    Proxmox and non-enterprise SSDs

    It will extend the life of the SSD. That is one of the reasons why enterprise drives are weird sizes. They come over provisioned from factory which is not user changeable.
