Hi. My only Windows 10 VM has half of the Network Speed of the host. I am trying to increase the Multique channels but the max it allows me in the GUI is 8 but my Windows VM has 12 vCPUs....so I tried what is written in the manual :

"When using Multiqueue, it is recommended to set it to a value equal to the number of Total Cores of your guest. You also need to set in the VM the number of multi-purpose channels on each VirtIO NIC with the ethtool command:
ethtool -L ens1 combined X"

but where do I run this command ? since this is a command for just a Linux guest...so how do I increase the multichannel count for a Windows 10 VM ?

Thanks for your help
