My head is swimming as I'm trying to figure out how to build this system. I'm hoping to build a system with two Windows Server 2019 VMs on it with heavy workloads, and one with SQL loaded as well. And a third Windows 10 Professional VM on the same machine. My single 3440 2.4Ghz processor has six cores.
I read on another thread that I leave 1 core for Proxmox and then tell each of my Windows machines to use the rest of the cores, which they will share but each think they have access to that many cores. So with a 6 core CPU I would tell EACH of the Windows machines to use 5 cores? Question #1) Is that correct?
I also read that I need to buy Windows licenses based on the total number of cores but a single license covers up to 16 cores. Question 2) Since I only have six cores does that mean I just enter my standard Windows license for each VM (total of two Windows Server and 1 Windows 10 license)?
