Hi everyone, hope you are doing well!

I'm was considering to wipe my WIndows boot from my computer to configure all the HDD space to my proxmox for storage. Is there a good way to go about this or any documentation to refer to? Or is that even a good idea to begin with?
 
Hi.

Do you mean you want your workstation to only run Proxmox?

It is not recommended to dual boot Proxmox in general.

That said, running it as a VM nested might make it possible to interact with it to learn more about it's lifecycle without losing windows functionality.

You might use VirtualBox or another one like that that is more desktop oriented.

I was referring to dual boot Proxmox with Windows, which now you mentioned it, was not aware that is not recommended to dual boot.
So I assume it would be appropitate to wipe windows and partion the storage for my proxmox?
