Using Boxes

Good morning,

I would like to install Windows 11 in a virtual machine. I use Boxes. The setup starts, but after selection of language, i am asked to install drivers. I guess for selecting a harddrive. Where can i get these drivers?

Thank you.

Hi and welcome. Crucially for any VM to work you need 8 Gb RAM in your machine, and allocate 4 Gb RAM to your VM. Not sure if enough for Windows 11 though:

I've not tried Boxes. My preferred VM software is virt-manager. Initially on a different OS I had installed Windows 7 Pro as a .vhd in Virtual Box. I moved to a different OS, installed virt-manager and imported the .vhd file to make it a .qcow image. I was even able to upgrade it to Windows 8.1 Pro. I would give virt-manager a try. Now if you are trying to install the 24H2 version there are some workarounds needed:
