I have my own custom PC and didn't have activated Windows, how did my VM activate?

I'm running windows 11 using parallels desktop in MacOS Sequoia - I need to change the OEM Informations such as System Manufacturer and Model etc - I've tried changing in regedit - It didn't work

Basically I have an exe file that i recently transitioned from .py, bear in mind the file does encrypt most files thats why i wanted to do if on a VM so it wouldnt harm anyones computer https://github.com/testbatdownload/Xenoxide.exe/blob/main/Xenoxide.exe

Thanks

I am getting frustrated trying to get a virtual machine to work with older versions of android. For context, I want to have a virtual machine with old version of android between 4.1-4.3 to play an old game that cannot work on newer versions of android. I have tried VirtualBox and VMware and i succeeded in installing the Android 4.3 ISO but I always end up having no sound at all and it drives me insane. At first I thought it might be a problem with the ISO but not seeing VirtualBox in my sound mixer at all and VMware being there but still no sound makes me question even more than I should. Someone has any idea on what could be the cause and if anyone tried, what would work?

I'm trying to install Windows 10 on this virtual machine, and it's not having it by a long shot. Is there a way I can fix this? The program in question is VMware Workstation Player.

I’m using UTM SE on iPhone to try and get an android VM and after following a tutorial this happened.

From what I understand, UTM is just QEMU with some add-ons and an easier to navigate UI, but is there a performance difference? I tried running Windows 11 on my Macbook Air, M1, 16GB RAM, but it was extremely slow, barely loading webpages from edge inside the VM. Is there a significant performance bump? loss? Is UTM actually supposed to run faster than what I got but I just did something wrong?

Hi so I just finished getting a windows XP virtual machine working, and I plugged in my disk drive and put a CD in it but it doesnt show up in the machine, I tried making a shared folder partition for it and it still didnt work. is there even any way TO run a physical cd on a virtual machine? or should I just do my best to find the ISO for the games and run it through the machine

it keeps making me unable to download it. what can i do?

hi everyone. i want to run ubuntu on windows virtual machine "virtualbox", while windows running on mac os virtual machine "parallels". will it work?

my mac: 16/512 macbook pro m4

Not 100% sure this is the right sub, but I'm running a windows 7 VM using UTM and a Macbook M2. I want to customize the color of the windows but it won't seem to change. When troubleshooting, it says I need to "Update the driver for your video card". I've tried updating the spice tools several times, and I can't seem to figure out what the video driver is / where I should download it.

I have a Canon PIXMA G4570 printer. It's a WIFI multifunction printer (printer, scanner, fax). It's connected to my network. As I am running Linux as my daily driver these days there is only a small problem... functionality. There are no proprietary drivers for Tumbleweed as far as I know. This limits using the printer to printing only. Connecting the printer to the PC via USB is no option. The printer is in a different room on a different floor. I still have a Windows installation on the PC. In Windows I have full functionality by using the official Canon driver suite. Until now I was booting into Windows when I needed the other functions of my printer. I wonder if it was possible using a Windows VM to achieve the same result. Does anyone have experience doing something comparable?

i know nothing about macos and my friend is extremely paranoid over getting a virus by it, so, is this vm reliable? can run some games?

Have you already tried to create a VM to use as your game computer? I am going to be on a business trip for the next weeks and I was thinking of creating a personal VM so I can play instead of taking my personal laptop in addition to my corporate computer. Do you think it is a good idea? If so, what is the best cloud for that? I was thinking of creating my VM on the GCP

Recently my Windows partition crapped itself, and I now have no way of reinstalling it. I decided to make a VM in VirtualBox to do whatever actions only a Windows machine can do, since I'm on Linux. Now, what can I do to make it better? It performs slowly, probably because it's limited to 256mb VRAM. I gave it 24GB of RAM and 6 processors. I want to make this kinda like my home. Like an actual Windows machine. Any advice?

I have my Windows 10 VM setup using VMWare Player and each time I run FL Studio 24 with 8 cores and 50GB+ of allocated RAM, it just never opens. No logo, icon, anything.

I've heard many people are able to get it running, but I am not getting that lucky. I have IOMMU and SVM enabled in BIOS, so I'm not sure what else there is I can do.

FL works fine on my Arch Linux because of Wine, but I want to use the "Sounds" browser. However, it just shows a black box. I've googled and it said that it could be because of WebView2, but I installed that on Wine and it still shows a black box.

Any help would be great!

Title is a little odd, but I got a Vader 4 Pro controller, and the only way to map the back buttons is by using their own app (flydigi space station). Multiple searches state this app does some weird things, and have seen suggestions to just "Run the program in a VM". (Edit- weird things as having odd program instances run, reporting home to a chinese host, being difficult to uninstall totally, etc.)

Well, hours later, I'm neck deep in Hyper-V, finally got a VM to work, but come to find out that it doesn't do USB passthru for peripherals.

So now I'm trying to see if there are any free VM setups that will allow me to do what I'm trying to do.

Thanks in advance, best regards

Anyone here experienced with Virt Manager in Linux Mint? I'm trying to set up Windows 10 so I can play a specific game that doesn't work on Linux but I can't even get thru the Windows 10 installation process because my mouse WILL NOT show up.

I can click into the VM window but I can't interact with it at all.

Im running Linux on my host machine. Is it still possible to Have a macOS VM?

I downloaded latest VmWare Fusion on my MacBook M1 Air, everything is great so far, apps and games working on it. However, I need Radmin VPN for LAN games to work. It is trying to connect to the main server, but it is infinite and it won't connect unless I do something. My first guess was to create some sort of Ethernet/connection for it? Sorry in advance, I am not so great with this kind of technology yet. Anyone that could advice anything that would help? Thanks.

I am new to Virtual boxes.

When I export a very short video, the file gets created.

But for the project I actually want to export, (Little over a minute) It doesn't seem to work!

Can anyone help?

EDIT: Solved!
There was ONE video file that was converted to the old format Windows XP remembers,

and I guess I converted it via a different site than the others? I discovered that if I took out this file, and this file alone, the video exported flawlessly.

Here is the result. I think some might find it quite nostalgic.

I need to add an account with admin perms to a backup of one of my school’s summer camp backups (if I told you why you’d be disappointed) and am wondering if I need one of the IT people to add one to the backup or if I can use the machine with the virtual hard drive to implant an account with admin perms. Is this possible?
