The Windows guest system requires at least 124 GB of storage space.

Your system should have at least 12 GB of RAM. Your host system will also require at least 2 GB for itself and the emulation.

The Windows guest system requires at least 8 GB of RAM.

Check your BIOS to make sure it’s enabled! (It may be off by default.) All but the cheapest processors should support virtualization.

Your processor must support hardware emulation, either AMD Virtualization ( AMD-V) or Intel Virtualization Technology ( VT-x).

You’ll need to meet the following hardware requirements: Read the instructions carefully! Prerequisites You just need to tweak a few configuration options along the way. However, the underlying virtualization technology supports it. GNOME Boxes doesn’t yet support TPM and UEFI environments. It also requires a Trusted Platform Module ( TPM) version 2.0 and a UEFI boot environment. Among the changes, it requires more RAM and storage space. Windows 11 significantly raised its hardware requirements compared to Windows 10. (Some configuration file changes required.) Here’s how to install Windows 11 as a virtual machine ( VM) inside GNOME Boxes. Now you can continue to install Hyper-V on your system.My old tutorial for installing Windows 10 in GNOME Boxes doesn’t work with Windows 11.

Your PC will restart with the Hardware Virtualization enabled.

Next, press F10 to save the changes and exit BIOS.

Use the down arrow key and highlight Virtualization Technology.

Once in the BIOS Setup utility, open the Configuration tab.

So, use F10, F2, F12, F1, or DEL and see which one works for you.

The BIOS setup key varies depending on the manufacturer. Press the Power button to turn on the computer and then start pressing the F10 key to enter BIOS.To enable Hardware Virtualization in BIOS: Refer to the user manual or Knowledge Base resources on the computer manufacturer's website for other systems. Most modern systems support Hardware Virtualization, and you can enable it in BIOS.

Hyper-V is a bare-metal hypervisor and requires Hardware Virtualization enabled in BIOS to work.
