I am new to proxmox and want to setup my development environment on the guest system. This probably requires nested virtualization for the Android Studio Emulator to work. Does anybody have som experience in setting this up with Windows 10 as guest in proxmox? I have gotten some old hardware for a small amount of money:

- Gigabyte GA-H97M Mainboard
- CPU Intel i3 4160 3,6 GHZ (4 cores)
- Graphics: GTX 560 Ti
- 16 GB RAM

Does this even make sense? :)

Do I need to PCI-passthrough the graphics card?

Does Win10 support this out of the box?

Does Win Server support this (I read it does not)?

EDIT: I will add some links I found, but where I am unsure if they are still relevant:

I was able to install Win 10 and install Android Studio with the Emulator. However, the emulator crashes. I currently have the BIOS of my hardware set to use the built-in GPU. A monitor is attached to it and working. When I got the hardware, the BIOS was set to using the PCI graphics card. On proxmox, I set "default" for the graphics card. I am unsure how to set this to include my PCI GPU in the Windows 10 guest. Maybe I need a special driver for it, also?
