SMBIOS Settings (type1)

[bearhntr]

I am fairly new to PROXMOX (from ESXi) - and was going through the various settings and saw the SMBIOS Settings (type1) area and it appears to all be {blank}.

Is there a way to 'pull' this information from the HOST and populate it here? I see the UUID was created on its own, as I have created 3 VMs and all have a different number there. I would like to know what I can put in the empty boxes. Is there a guide someplace? or a way to see what these are "at the HOST" level?

you can show the host values with a tool such as dmidecode, e.g.:

dmidecode --type 1

Why do you want to set those values ?
normally it is not necessary to put anything there so inserting the values from the host does not often make sense.

I have a couple of Windows OSes which are OEM and will activate automatically when they read specific SMBIOS information. I wanted to give them a try by pulling the SMBIOS info off of my DELL Laptop (one of the machines) and see if the Windows 10 will auto-activate. I know it is most likely using SLIC info to do that, it is more of a test.
