Booting from Windows 10 from a server

[Erbu]

Is it possible to run Windows 10 os from a server over network? If yes, how?

Depends on how/what you mean by that exactly.

 

Do you mean directly? Natively?

Do you mean from within a virtual machine?

What performance are you looking for?

Would it be for general maintenance?

Are you looking for near native performance?

 

Many variables here...

From a virtual machine and near native performance

Yea you can run it in a vm. What hypervisor.

 

Hypervisors normally ahve a very small performanc cut.

 

What hardware are you trying to use. What is your goal here?

I want to have alot of power using a laptop so I would run a virtual machine and use its performance for blender etc. I got Windows 10 pro so can I use Hyper-V for it?

Got Ryzen 5 2600X and GTX 1080 ti

You can explore RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) I don't know how near native performance it is though.

 

What you can also look into is Parsec. Parsec requires a GPU for acceleration though. Because you're in a VM you'll need to setup GPU pass-though and if you're using an NVIDIA GPU that isn't a Quadro you will have trouble using it. If you have an AMD GPU it'll be easier.

What os is running on the host?

 

If your using blender, use linux as its much faster in blender than windows.

Then why do you need a vm to run programs like blender? Id just run it on a host.

 

But yea hyper-v will work fine here.

How can I connect to a Hyper-V vm from my laptop?

remote desktop?

 

There is a hyper-v client aswell.

I will find a tutorial online
