In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses their exploration into virtual machines and running Windows 11 under Windows 10 to try it out before upgrading their computer. They also talk about installing their video editing software, Vegas Pro, within a virtual machine. Vegas Pro is described as having a superior workflow compared to other video editors like Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve, especially for someone coming from a music production background. The speaker notes that Vegas Pro’s code base is messy, leading to frequent crashes, despite some improvements in the latest version, Vegas Pro 19. This instability raised questions for the speaker about the software’s reliability.

In this segment of the video, the content creator discusses testing Vegas Pro on virtual machines to troubleshoot crashing issues on their host computer. They determined that Vegas Pro runs well on Windows 11, but rendering with a graphics card in a virtual machine requires passing the GPU through to the guest system. Testing three popular free virtual machine softwares—Hyper-V, VirtualBox, and VMware—the creator found that Hyper-V had the best CPU performance, with VMware in second place and VirtualBox significantly slower. This experiment concluded that GPU rendering in Vegas Pro within a virtual machine without passing a graphics card through is not feasible.

In this segment of the video, the speaker talks about running virtual machines on different virtual machine software like VMware, VirtualBox, and Hyper-V. They mention that Windows 11 requires TPM and Secure Boot support, which may require modifications in VMware and VirtualBox. Hyper-V performs well in CPU performance for running virtual servers but lacks in desktop experience, unlike VMware, which allows full GPU sharing with the host system. VirtualBox and QEMU are free and open-source, with QEMU performing better on Linux. The speaker recommends Hyper-V for virtual servers due to efficient CPU processing and VMware for desktop use if top CPU performance is not required.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various virtual machine software options. VirtualBox is not recommended for Windows virtual machines due to poor desktop experience, but suitable for running obscure Linux versions. QEMU is suggested for emulating hardware chips but isn’t user-friendly, running from a command line. Recommendations are subject to change with proper Windows 11 support.
