The RemoteFX GPU acceleration stuff for HyperV VMs, is that available and functional in Windows 10 Pro? I find half-assed conflicting information about it. (e.g. Microsoft themselves mention that the host requirement would start at "just" Windows 10, but last I even looked at it, which granted was a while ago, didn't have anything of the sort.) Would be interesting to know and have, so that I can shuffle annoying poo poo like Adobe Creative Cloud and its apps off into a VM.

From the little I remember, you need a Quadro or pro type AMD to get that to work on the server 2012 vm's. Also, you need to use enterprise Windows in the VM.

According to reddit, they enabled RemoteFX 3D around end of 2015 already. I guess I'll take the risk and upgrade to Pro and see from there. The RemoteApp/RAIL stuff looks exactly like what I need. GPU acceleration would be nice though.

Yesterday I played some GTA, shortly after a reboot for whatever reasons, thing idled overnight, now it can't initialize the DirectX device. I had that with another game before, too. I had that happen last night, but I'm on 1709/16299.371.

I don't get Microsoft. I thought SMB Direct was relegated to the Workstation version only? I've upgraded from Home to Pro and it's listed as an installed feature. I'm on the April Update that's going public tomorrow. Also, I've an Hyper-V feature that I'm currently using, and there's also a Windows Hypervisor Platform feature. What the hell is that?! --edit: Nevermind, third party interface. --edit: Heh, RemoteFX 3D seems to work. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Apr 29, 2018 |

Ah crap. RemoteApp doesn't work with RemoteFX, if you have a "weird" desktop setup on the host. I have a dual screen setup with 1440p twice, and RDP balks at that.

Isn't the MCT always just going to pull whatever the latest version is off the servers? I'm pretty sure if you run an old exe you have sitting around it would download 1803 once it's officially available.

Strangely no, they release a new version with each major release (and sometime in between, which grabs cumulative patches rolled into the ISO).

I'm pretty sure if you run an old exe you have sitting around it would download 1803 once it's officially available. It's more or less locked to the version it was created for (unless you selfhost a newer products.cab). You can check which version a MCT is for in its properties. ThermoPhysical posted:Should I jump to the new update or just wait for the rollout? Some settings say they're managed by insider preview. Even with the delay, they really rushed this. I'd personally recommend waiting at least until the first cumulative update is out for 1803 before jumping in unless one of the 1803 features is especially compelling for you.

WattsvilleBlues posted:The ISOs sizes for each (x86, x64 and Both) is hundreds of megabytes smaller than the Fall Creators Update. Any idea how or why that is? Media Creation Tool ISOs are smaller than the ISOs you download from the Install Windows 10 page on Not Windows (or a browser on Windows with a forged user agent to make it look like Not Windows) because the MCT packs the install image in the ISO as an ESD and may include the image files for only a single edition of Windows, whereas the standard images on things like MSDN and Not Windows come with WIM install images including something like 11 different editions of Windows now (stuff like N, KN, Education, Workstation, things that personal users - who mostly have Core (un-suffixed) or Pro - don't really have to worry about). If they have the same edition set, then the size is down to ESD using a newer and tighter - albeit encrypted - compression format than WIM uses. The standard images (Win10_1803_English_x64.iso, Win10_1709_English_x64.iso) are within a few megabytes of each other. Also make sure you got a 64-bit version. The 32-bit versions are dramatically smaller, although that would be a gigabyte or more of difference. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Apr 30, 2018 |

N, KN, and Workstation are all just feature entitlements, rather than separate editions, and can be installed using the MCT.

I get all my ISOs from the MCT, and the size differences are still in the hundreds of MB from the equivalent edition of FCU. Interesting stuff though.

I'm building a Home Theater PC out of an Intel NUC. Any cheap, legal ways to get a copy of win10 home/pro? I really don't want to spend $120 for a copy from Microsoft. Googling a bit I found this: https://www.keystoreonline.com/product/windows-10-pro-key/ Legit? I'll even settle for a dubious, but genuine key. ate shit on live tv fucked around with this message at 00:04 on May 1, 2018 |

N prevents you from having Windows Media Player and related programs installed until you download them from Microsoft, it was created for some bullshit EU rule. K comes with links to "competing" media player and instant messenger software. It was created for some bullshit South Korean ruling. KN combines the missing media player with the links to others from these two versions. Workstation supports ReFS, non-volatile main system RAM, SMB Direct, and 4 physical CPU sockets + 6 TB of RAM in comparison to standard Windows 10 2 CPU sockets and 2 TB of RAM. So of all these editions, only Workstation would actually need extra information installed.

Interesting. After resetting Windows, I've reinstalled the regular Spotify version instead of the Project Centennial one for Windows Store. I always figured the lower framerate motion when dragging the window around was due to some fuckery from hiding the title bar, but the regular version moves supersmooth across the screen (144hz displays). So wrapping Win32 crap up into an AppX container has side effects?
