Windows 10: Windows 10 guest iso on Windows 10 host via Virtual machines.

So Ive had this issue for the past couple months, almost any other imgae I use in vmware, virtualbox and Linode, work just fine. However for some reason when KI try to run Windows 10 in a vm its just insane.

• Vmware works, but does not let me disable bidirectional behavior, in workstation player. I cant have a clipboard or any copy and past on for this project.
• Virtualbox loads an image via media creation tool/winodws iso direct download/enterprise iso from website, but it never mounts correctly. "Getting Files ready for intsallation" portion of the setup takes anywhere from 2-3 hours then crashes, whe using the media created image. The downladables from the microsoft website load and mount but they do not install the virtualbox set up at the end of the process. 32 gb of virual storage takes up like 15gb of hard space.
• Linode doesnt really support Windows
• Hyper-V has the same issue as VirtualBox.

*note* - This is machine will be for testing and troubleshooting virus' and analyzing malware. I cannot have copy and paste or a clipboard on for this project as the malware could crawl off and enter my host machine.

Windows 10 Host -- Windows 10 Guest Hyper-V -- GPU not detected

I am using the Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine software on 1 of my Windows 10 PCs and have all kinds of VMs (Guest OSes) under it.
By default, Hyper-V gives very basic GPU capability to the VMs, without even 2D acceleration, but for Windows Vista or higher Guest OSes, an option to have some 2D/3D GPU/DirectX acceleration exists by adding a RemoteFX adapter to the Guest OS.

When I do this, then run GPU-Z on the VM/Guest OS, NO proper (or any) info shows, see screenshot:

DxDiag info of GPU is here: Файл из Облака Mail.ru

Expected: Show Microsoft logo as videocard maker logo, list OS used (Windows 10 in this case, but could be Vista, Windows 7, 8/8.1/etc), and amount of memory of the GPU (such as 128 MB, 256 MB/etc).

Please add!

No, the RemoteFX adapter provides good enough 2D/3D acceleration just fine. Not software in any way, it is full hardware 2D/3D acceleration.
I am not using a generic driver in the Host OS, nor in the Guest OS in any way.
Host OS has latest AMD Radeon drivers, Guest OS - the matching RemoteFX drivers.

I am not 3D rendering or playing heavy games in the VM, of course. *Smile
I do not use or need Linux here. Windows 10 Host, Windows Guests.

As far as I know, any virtual machine is going to use software acceleration to render in the guest, in this case is the same generic driver Windows uses when no compatible one is found. Also, GPU-Z needs the support to display any information about the "adapter".
The only way to use a GPU fully with all characteristics and performance, even installing the AMD or Nvidia driver on a guest is with PCI-Passthrough and IOMMU under a Linux host. I tested it, and works perfectly.
