Optimal virtualization setup for windows guest VM
Hi,
My question is very simple, I have a need where I need to provide windows VMs to users. We are running Alma linux. We have raid 1 nvme setup and plenty of RAM. But I heard windows VM are not efficient. So what could I do that can create most efficient KVM VMs for windows.

Yeah, Windows needs RAM. If you give it less than 3Gb it swaps like crazy, which makes it run slow. I've had good results with 4 to 8 Gb per VM.
This is with W10.
