Windows 10 Minios Pro 64 Bits
Indira Rossetto
Hello. I Have as a host a 64 bits operating system. And I want to install windows10 "minios LTSC" in oracle virtual box.
Should I consider an x86 or a x64 window architecture ?.
This is my computer specks
Intel dual core 2.50 Ghz.
4 Gb Ram
320 Gb HDD.
I decided to give it a try to Windows X86 structure (which I understood it is 32 bits) and It runs quite well on my linux LXLE 64 bits. I wish I could set that computer with Zorin, which I love , but I didn't work fine last time, I have suspicious about one of my ram module working fine.
Thank you guys for helping me.!
Now I see why you asked this. I typoed and made a self-contradictory statement.
" unless you are setting up a 32bit system" clearly notes that you should be using 64bit.
But instead of typing x64, I typed x86. I have no idea how I failed to spot that error...
hi swarf..again. i tried installing Virtual machine under lxle , first thing i got was an error conextion. would you send me a link for its web site to download , since it isn't on synaptic. Because i don't know if i got the real deal.
I cannot help but wonder if the focus will be on Quantum Computing. Which would make a 128bit arch look like it's standing still.
Do not forsee that in a home computer anytime soon... But who knows? Some things progress much faster than we expect while others progress slower than we hope (Fusion).
You will get sluggish performance as you only have 4 Gb RAM in your machine. I'm lucky to have 16 Gb RAM. I allocate 4 Gb RAM and 2 CPU cores for most VMs in Virt Manager unless I want to see how little lightweight OS's can cope with. I've just posted an answer to someone on how to import a .vhd into Virt Manager. Will edit this post with link when I find it.
Well I tried VMM finally I was able to "connect" , but it is too slow , I will leave it aside to try later, and I will continue, for now with Vbox (buy the way Boxes is not recommended for working, it 's too limitated . It serves only to have a glimpse at OS's) ., Vbox is performing ok , even though I have 4 GB RAM (this computer is a bit old).
I have a question regarding my main topic here. I was able to install a modify version of windows called "windows 10 LTSC - minios from duffy's project" I will only use it in order to log in into a Governmental Web Site, copy and past text from Libre office Writer and sign with a digital signature , through a Cryptographic Device . I won't use it for other purposes.
Shall I install an Antivirus inside this windows??.
Anyway , I think if a virus came in , it will only work inside that virtual machine. Take into account I have to use shared folders , one of them is my Host Desktop, with writing permissions, and another with only read permission .
If the website you connect to downloads a tiny cpub.exe that has to run to get the login connection you can point Remmina Remote Login to that .exe file (Remmina comes with Zorin). I worked from home from start of lockdown to my retirement and in the last week of school term, about this time last year meant I didn't have to:
