Using Windows 11 on HomeLab ARM64 Development Board with PVE7

NO.1

Windows 11 Arm64

Previously set up Ubuntu Server 22.04 and Docker Redroid cloud phone

Just one more Windows system is needed to complete the trio of cloud server, cloud phone, and cloud desktop

The built-in emulation technology of Windows 11 ARM version allows running unmodified x86 and x64 Windows applications on ARM devices

It should be noted that the performance of these applications may not match that on the native platform

After testing, WeChat, Chrome, and some daily software can work normally

NO.2

Windows Performance Experience

Hardware allocation

Allocated 1 core 4 CPUs
Allocated 4GB of memory

In terms of experience, the CPU generally occupies about 70% during operation, and memory usage is around 80%

There will be a waiting period when installing and starting software

When using WeChat and Chrome browser, there is no noticeable lag, and the experience is relatively smooth (running a desktop system on ARM with 4GB of memory is already quite good)

Other software has not been tested yet, and gaming is not considered; Windows is only used for GUI automation and system backup

NO.3

MacOS

The three major operating systems: Linux, Windows, Mac

Running MacOS in an ARM environment with insufficient performance and incomplete ecosystem is somewhat forced

Below are projects that can run MacOS in Docker under AMD64 or x86_64

New project

https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

Run macOS on QEMU/KVM, now supports OpenCore + Big Sur + Monterey + Ventura.

This is just a record; ARM PVE does not consider MacOS

NO.4

Tips

Setting up the cloud trio also excludes MacOS

Remaining some daily systems

Soft router OpenWrt
Black Synology NAS (DSM)
Smart home (HomeAssistant)

Will try again when I have time
