Virtualization technology has revolutionized the way we experience and utilize operating systems, offering unparalleled flexibility and functionality within a single hardware environment. For enthusiasts seeking to explore the latest in operating systems like Windows 11 while harnessing the power and versatility of Unraid, the prospect of running Windows 11 within a virtual machine (VM) presents an enticing opportunity. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the step-by-step process of installing Windows 11 on an Unraid VM, providing insights, tips, and essential considerations to help you embark on this exciting technological journey.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][pac_divi_table_of_contents default_state=”closed” collapse_when_sticky=”on” minimize_toc_as_icon=”on” closed_icon=”*||divi||400″ included_headings=”off|on|off|off|off|off” active_link_highlight=”on” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” sticky_position=”top” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/pac_divi_table_of_contents][et_pb_heading title=”Step I: Enabling CPU Virtualisation on your Motherboard BIOS” admin_label=”Step1″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]If you have other VM’s running on your UNRAID server then you already have the CPU virtualisation already enabled within you motherboard bios settings.

But if this is your first time or you have recently reset your BIOS settings to default then you need to refer your motherboard or system manufacturer’s manual.The CPU virtualisation goes by different names, its generally Vt-x for Intel Systems and SVM for AMD Systems.Below are few examples of how it looks like on different motherboards from different manufacturer’s.[\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you have other VMs running on your UNRAID server, you likely already have the CPU virtualisation enabled within your motherboard BIOS settings.
