Wecurrently 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.


Note: Unless you're running a volume-licensed version of Windows, you need a separate license for Windows running inside a virtual machine. The virtual machine's operating system is independent of the host operating system.


Capitalize on your existing investments and migrate your Microsoft technologies, including Windows Server, SQL Server, .NET applications, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), and System Center, to Azure. Easily automate Windows Server management with Azure Automanage, and use premier Windows Server capabilities like hotpatching. Take advantage of savings with reservation pricing and by using your existing on-premises Windows Server licenses with Azure Hybrid Benefit when you move to Azure. Get free extended security updates for Windows Server and SQL Server 2008, 2012, 2008 R2, and 2012 R2. Taking these benefits together, AWS is five times more expensive than Azure for Windows Server and SQL Server.


Host and run your applications on VMs in Azure. Run SQL Server, SharePoint Server, Project Server, and additional Microsoft server software in Azure VMs. Or transition to fully managed Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, SharePoint Online, or Azure SQL Database and get hybrid identity services with Microsoft Entra ID.


Get operational consistency across on-premises and Azure deployments. Manage all your servers and VMs with Windows Admin Center, also available in Azure. Use Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, and Azure Storage for Windows Server workloads running on premises or on Azure. Take advantage of bottomless storage in Azure by replicating files from your on-premises Windows Servers to Azure using Azure File Sync. Use Azure Stack to build and deploy in the same way for both cloud and on-premises environments.


Help prevent attacks with the built-in security features of Windows Server 2019 and 2022. Improve your security posture while retaining high availability by applying security patches automatically with hotpatching in Azure Automanage. Continuously monitor threats and respond quickly to attacks with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and get three more years of security updates for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2. Implement extra security for development, testing, customer training, and demo environments by using nested VMs on Azure.


Identify the best Windows VM for your workloads with the virtual machines selector. Configure and estimate the costs of your Azure VMs using the pricing calculator or learn more about Windows VM pricing.


A range of guest operating systems can be migrated to Azure. This includes all the supported Windows Server versions and VMs from these VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments with Azure Site Recovery. VMs migrated from these on-premises virtualization platforms run as native Azure infrastructure as a service (IaaS) VMs and aren't dependent on the on-premises hypervisor.


A broad range of Microsoft applications run in Azure VMs, including BizTalk Server 2013 and later versions, Dynamics AX 2012 R3 and later, and Exchange Server 2013 and later versions. For a complete list of supported Microsoft server software please refer to the documentation.


As you transition your workloads to Azure, take advantage of Azure Hybrid Benefit, to use your existing Windows Server licenses with Software Assurance or Windows Server Subscriptions for significant savings on Azure. You can use the benefit with Windows Server Datacenter and Standard edition licenses covered with Software Assurance or Windows Server Subscriptions. Depending on the edition, you can convert or reuse your licenses to run Windows Server virtual machines in Azure and pay a lower base compute rate. For each license, Azure will cover the cost of the OS for up to two virtual machines while you pay just for the base compute VM costs.


With no upfront cost, you only pay for what you use. Azure provides flexible purchasing and pricing options for all your cloud scenarios, such as Azure Hybrid Benefit and Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances, and offers a comprehensive set of tools, such as Microsoft Cost Management to help you manage your cloud spend. Model your total cost of ownership (TCO) in Azure with this calculator.


Nested virtualization is supported in Azure. This feature allows you to run Microsoft Hyper-V inside of a Hyper-V virtual machine, which is useful, for example, when running a Visual Studio phone emulator in a virtual machine or testing configurations that ordinarily require several hosts.


Azure Virtual machine scale sets help you create and manage a group of load-balanced and autoscaling VMs. Deploy VM scale sets using Azure Resource Manager templates, which support Windows and Linux platform images and custom images and extensions.


Explore our comprehensive approach. There are several Microsoft and partner tools and a large ecosystem of partners to help migrate on-premises VMs to Azure. Visit the Azure migration center to learn more.


Most Azure VMs come with temporary non-persistent local storage. Additionally, Azure offers HDD and SSD storage for data. Learn more about Azure Disk Storage. Refer to the Azure VM technical documentation (Linux VMs and Windows VMs) to learn about the Azure disks that are available for each VM series.


I'm trying to use Dropbox in a "Windows 11 Pro" virtual machine (under Parallels) on Macbook M1 (Apple silicon). When I attempt to install, I get an error message "Couldn't start Dropbox. Your device is not compatible with this version of the Dropbox app." It states that I could use Windows 11 in S mode, but I can't be restricted to S mode.


I installed Dropbox a month ago on the Mac (Ventura) side, and it installed (although it's awkward). I write some of my own apps (C# .Net) and need to have stable locations for many Dropbox files. I just installed the newest version of MacOS Dropbox but it conceals the drive locations of files in a way that wrecks the programmatic access from the Windows side. I therefore uninstalled Dropbox from the Mac side am now trying to install it on the Windows side.

Welcome to the forum. I wish I could tell you of some profound insight or clever work-around. Right now I just use USB drives to update the Mac virtual Windows machine. It's clumsy but it does work. I continue to look for something better, but that's it for now.


Simple solution is to install Dropbox on your Mac and then make a mapped drive using Parallels so that it maps your Dropbox in Windows 11. Then you get to use the M1/M2 native app for Mac to work on your PC.


For Mac in Parallels, if you turn on file sharing between Mac and Parallels, you can send files to each other using UNC paths. You can set mapped drives and then use them like you would anything else. On mine, the Mac is referenced like \\Mac\ in Windows. If your Dropbox is at \\Mac\username\Dropbox, then that's your Dropbox. Keep in mind that online files will show up as 0 bytes and if you access them, it doesn't seem to download the files when you do... so that's something to be aware of.


I was able to get further using a Generation 1 virtual machine, before a commenter pointed out Windows 11 isn't supported in Generation 1. During those earlier Hyper-V new virtual machine setup wizard, I selected:


I can connect to the virtual machine and upon starting it the Windows installation kicks off normally. However, the installation process stops, stating that the machine doesn't meet the system requirements:


Thanks to @joeqwerty I started using the Generation 2 setup option instead of Generation 1. I was getting an error booting, but that was because the Generation 2 setup assumes the ISO is on a DVD and not on a hard drive, requiring me to "press any key" when prompted to boot from DVD.


I had assumed that UEFI Secure Boot requirements were for the host machine. I didn't realize those were additional settings needed for the virtual machine after completing the new virtual machine setup wizard.


I run several virtual machines with XP as the guest OS which seem to use about 1.7 GB per VM. I want to add a new VM with Windows 7 as the guest and am wondering how much RAM I need to assign to the Windows 7 VM to have it run well. I generally have only one Internet Explorer window in the VMs.
