Yes, but you may lose your license because windows will detect a new HW. You can pass through a disk to a VM like this. 1.) idetify your disk Code: lsblk 2.) create your VM Config (On the GUI) and remove after creation the vdisk. see https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#qm_virtual_machines_settings 3.) Add the disk to the created VM. The disk path you see in the output of lsblk Code: qm set 100 --scsi0 <path to the disk>
