We currently package our virtual machines for four different virtualization software options: VMware, Hyper-V (Gen2), VirtualBox, and Parallels.These virtual machines contain an evaluation version of Windows that expires on the date posted. If the evaluation period expires, the desktop background will turn black, you will see a persistent desktop notification indicating that the system is not genuine, and the PC will shut down every hour.

There is no password set up for the user account. However, some software, especially those used to connect remotely to the VM, may require a password. In those cases, you will need to set up a password for the user account first before using that software.

Unfortunately, we don't have an ARM version available at the moment. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we don't have any short term plans to create these. However, we're always open to feedback and suggestions from our users and will take them into consideration when planning future updates.

Yes, we have noticed that there are some rendering quirks when using VirtualBox to run these developer images. The Start menu may also look different than expected. We are currently investigating this behavior. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3. See "About VirtualBox" for an introduction.

VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while Oracle ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.

I want to write a program that takes input from my microphone, processes it, and then sends the output to a fake "virtual microphone" as if the processed sound I created was what a microphone was hearing. I would then like to be able to use this virtual microphone with any application that supports choosing your microphone input (pretty much any well written software) as a valid microphone. So what the application "hears" will be my processed version of the microphone input.

I'm working with Portaudio in C and I can capture from the mic, process, and send out to the speakers just fine. Now I need to replace my real speakers in the application with the phony microphone. Windows seems to have some APIs for this. -us/library/windows/hardware/ff536201%28v=vs.85%29.aspxSo my sink pin will be the real microphone and I will have to create a NEW source pin that should be visible to other applications. How would I go about doing this? I'm having difficulty finding code samples or really even any very informative documentation.

You could be using the programm called virtual audio cable. The freeware includes up to 3 vac-s. Afterward you can use the mitov.com audiolab library to do whatever you want with the sound comming on it. If you want to do some DSP or whatever

My supervisor wants me to look into a virtual Windows 10/11 desktop solution leveraging our on-prem VMware cluster. Luckily, our cluster hardware has plenty of CPU/RAM/storage to accomplish the scope of the solution. The issue I'm running into is finding tutorials on how to set this up using Windows Server 2022-era products. All the solutions I can find seem to require an Azure tenant.I would have no issues recommending an Azure-integrated solution, except for the kicker: My company's Azure tenant is managed by a non-US corporation, to which we have no administrative access and getting an Azure VDI solution in place is so convoluted as to be effectively impossible.I know Windows Virtual Desktop is old tech and I totally understand why Microsoft is pushing Azure cloud services instead of on-prem solutions, but my situation dictates that I come up with an on-prem solution that will have the potential to last the next 3-5 years without Microsoft killing it with EoL support and security update cancellations.

Is it at all possible for a virtual machine running Windows 7/8.1/10 on VMWare or VirtualBox on a Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 host, to detect an iPhone 4S running iOS 9.2.1 as an iPhone and for iTunes on the virtual machine to sync and backup the iPhone? I've tried it many times and I could only get the virtual machine to detect my phone as a storage device, not a phone and therefore I couldn't sync it.I'm trying to do this so I can switch from Windows to Ubuntu for good, and this is the only obstacle. I'd appreciate any help with this.

I am wondering if it has to do with the S mode of Windows. On my virtual Windows environment, the Windows 11 is not activate, and when I try to download the Dropbox app, it says I can only download Dropbox for S mode.

If you were using a Mac which was running the older Intel chip, then it would work normally. However, on Macs with the M1 chip, only the S Mode version of the app would run on Windows when using Parallels on that device.

If 1password is open on the first, and you try to open 1password on the other virtual desktop, it switches Desktops. I see this behavior on more apps, but for example Brave browser works nice and starts 2 instances

Thanks for your message. The 1Password 8 app doesn't doesn't work like a browser and will not allow for multiple instances running at once. Since it's already open on another desktop Windows will automatically switch over to the one it's running on and activate.

As workaround, on the second desktop, you can try using Quick Access (Ctrl + Shift + Space). I've done some testing and once quick access is open you can search for and open items in browser from there. I hope this helps.

Fedora infrastructure hosts virtIO drivers and additional software agents for Windows virtual machines running on kernel-based virtual machines (KVM). virtIO is a virtualization standard for network and disk device drivers.

I would just like to hear from people who have done this and learn from their experiences. Are there any pitfalls, features that don't work, performance problems, setup difficulties, whatever. Also, do you prefer VMware or Parallels.

One other thing: I would like to create at least four virtual machines (Windows with Labview development, Windows without LV to test the applications in a non-labview environment, and similar for MacOS}. Is this a reasonable thing to do?

I have not used either VMware or Parallels, just Bootcamp. Will you be using any hardware, such as DAQ devices? Some hardware drivers do not seem to work well through virtualization. For hardware intensive systems Bootcamp may be the best choice.

Today I received my copy of Labview 2011 for Windows and installed it on the Windows 7 virtual machine. All of this went without a hitch. Tomorrow I will begin moving five years of Labview 7 applications over to the new machine.

I have just one disappointment. It was my intention to create two windows virtual machines, one of which would be my development machine with the Labview development system installed and the other my test machine without the labview system. Unfortunately, Windows will not let me do that; I would have to buy two windows licenses and at $200 a pop that begins to run into money. Not to let Apple off the hook; they do not let you run two copies of Lion on the same machine even if you were to buy two copies. If anyone has a workaround, let me know.

Need windows for some device interaction where software isn't available in *nix/Mac (Radio programmers, power commander, multisim, some GPS tools, etc) so nearly everything I do with the VM's requires some additional hardware.

Overall things have worked well. There's some oddball things that happen sometimes (I haven't been able to repeatably get the devices to fail) but I'm 99% certain it's because i'm in a VM and the vm-to-hypervisor-to-host channel is wonky somewhere along the lines. Programs my radios, talks to my GPS, so overall I'm happy with the setup. Certainly easier than lugging around another machine. TuneECU has been known to brick ECUs when run in a VM... if the cost of replacement hardware in the event that something goes horribly wrong is overly expensive I'd look into a cheap dedicated 'doze box. Something to keep in mind.

Another possibility for something like that is to use a dedicated windows box and just remote into it from the Mac. LogMeIn and VNC are cross-platform and both work well. You can get a used/refurb'd laptop for cheap online.

This is an old thread and i'm not sure what you and the others have resolved in the meantime, but I have been using a MacBook Pro single core i5, with 4G RAM. Running Parallels with Win7 really chews up the RAM. In speaking with a bloke at the Apple store he says they recommend at least 8G when using Parallels - 4G for the VM and 4G for the host. I was told that this would drammatically improve performance (the Activity Monitor showed about 190 MB of available RAM when the Win8 machine was open - i have both Win7 and Win8).
