How to easy install any Windows OS where i dont need to sign in to anything microsoft or windows as i only need a windows qube vm so that i can download 1 specific Hikvision software to it which only works on windows.
I did download TinyWindows .ISO file and set up a standalone VM Qube but the thing wont work properly, not sure if i needed to download the QWT stuff for it to work, i was hoping i dont as i read up here long-time that the QWT and windows are not secure i.e. untrusted so i got scared and wondered if anyone here has any more knowledge than me which shouldn’t be difficult as i dont know much at all?
ok so i just do it all over again but no net access, whats the minimum memory and storage do you think i can get away with as it wanted loads last time?
Also once its all set up with no network, can i then give it network to download the software etc?
It might be better to install them as templates and then work with AppVMs based on that. The AppVMs will use the same license; so don’t start them when a template is running. And it will be better to download any software using a Linux VM and then copy the installation kit to the Windows VM, so there is no need to connect the Windows VM to a netVM.
I can confirm that it defo work properly by doing it that way, im now able to download new browser on the windows vm qube and the software which i defo couldnt do before but i dont seem to have the C&Paste function between dom0 and the new windows qube vm, would you know how i get that working and make the vm qube window bigger please? Thanks
Windows 11 will check on TPM and so on, with or without a network adapter. To disable that, follow the instructions in the Qubes documentation - hoping that M$ has not modified W11’s behavior in the meantime.
You may install Windows without a license, but then you are restricted like in any other Windows installation without a license (no personalization, only limited time of use, etc.)
In order to change the screen resolution of a Windows qube, you have to do it in the window settings within that qube. Another possibility might be to use the Alt-F8 key. But: Both options may work in one installation and not in another one.
