Windows 11

[Vasudev]

For unknown reasons, I'm unable to capture the image of windows 11 under Vmware player (Sysprep fails during OOBE with "Error SYSPRP BCD: BiUpdateEfiEntry failed c000000d"). I'm going to use another virtual machine. Hence, The release of a new image of windows 11 is delayed.

Do you know of another virtual machine program other than VirtualBox and VMWare?

Have you tested Hyper-V and gotten it to work correctly? How does it compare to Vbox and VMware? It's never occurred to me to even test it.

I have been using Hyper V on windows 11 exclusively as Vbox and VMware work differently with unattended and SCCMs scripts etc

I have been using Hyper V on windows 11 exclusively as Vbox and VMware work differently with unattended and SCCMs scripts etc

1) I put HyperV in using Control Panel. Let me ask: I asks if you want Generation 1 or 2. Which do you use?

2) Every time I click "Browse" to find a folder, it says "Application Failed to open remote file browser". However, if you manually type in the path, it'll work. What's going on?

3) Does this support setting up other drives or partitions? With Vbox you can select any drive or partition and (in Windows) assign it a drive letter. I'm not seeing any way to do this in the setup.

4) How do you copy files back and forth from the host to guest?

Let me know.

I use generation 2. Alternatively, You can use quick create to automatically create virtual disk and optimal settings.
