Can it be done

[miha.adzic]

Hi! I have looked around the site and I know how to setup proxmox and virual machines, but here is an idea and I don't know where to find any documentation on this or if it can even be done.
1. Instal proxmox VE on a workstation.
2. Setup Windows virtual machine.
3. On boot have it go directly to Windows.

Any ideas?
Thank you!

Do I understand you corretly - you want to emulate Windows 3 (from 1990)?

If this is really what you want, try dosbox:

Hi. Please read again. Missing line breaks... I had my no-script turned on so the post kinda lost the line breaks.

You want to:

1) install Proxmox on host.
2) install Windows in KVm inside the Proxmox node.
3) On Proxmox boot have windows KVM automatically started.
4) Have the output of the windows KVM on your monitor.


That correct ?

Its somewhat easy. Check the "options tab" for your KVM for the autostart option. Then pass your GPU through to the KVM. The wiki has some articles about it (PCI[e] passthrough) and there is a thread about this a couple pages back aswell.
