Windows 11 Template Setup
Setting up a Windows Server VM template with a full GUI can save hours of work if you regularly deploy Windows-based virtual machines. In this guide, we walk through the complete process of preparing a reusable template for Proxmox, including:
- Installing Windows 11 Professional
- Booting into Audit Mode
- Installing VirtIO drivers
- Running system updates
- Performing Sysprep for generalization
This template allows you to quickly clone and deploy fully configured Windows Server VMs with minimal post-setup effort.
