[pve-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Windows 11 OS type and UI improvements

[Stefan Reiter]

Add a specific 'win11' ostype for Windows 11 and Server 2022, with currently no
change on the backend, but enable q35, secure boot and a TPM in the wizard by
default if selected.

Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Windows 11 OS type and UI improvements

[Aaron Lauterer]

Works. As discussed off list, we should make it clearer in the "System" panel, that the TPM and EFI disk settings (Storage selection and such) belong to those "Checkboxes". While it is somewhat clear if enabled manually, it is quite confusing with them already enabled because one chose Win11 as guest OS in the previous step.
Additionally, setting the RAM to a default of 4096 for Win11 guests might be a good idea, as the Win11 installer will refuse to install because the requirements are not met if there is not enough RAM. A too small disk (<52GiB) will cause a warning in the Disk selection dialog of the installer, but it will still install.

Besides that:

as dicussed off-list, I'd just extend the field labels for the respective storage selector.

- "EFIvars Storage"
- "TPM Storage"

Yes, thought about that too when running into the very dubious and unhelpful
"your system does not fulfill the min reqs. but we won't tell you why" the
first time.
With the new OS type we can default to 4 GiB memory and 64 GiB root disk for
win11 in addtion to the defaults changed here.

thanks, those tags are always valuable!

Hi,

I don't think that win2022 require tpm , only win11.

seems so, but do you think it will hurt if we default to one (in GUI) anyway?
I mean it's only a check box to tick off if one does not wants it.

As otherwise it would add a bit of complication, we'd need to add a separate
win2022 os type just for that.

No, no problem, we can keep checkbox tick on by default for win11/2022.
maybe simply display an hint somewhere could be great ?

But I still find that the visual separation of the hr + space of the advanced section
provided some UX improvement, felt less crowded that way.

Maybe we can place that in a box+<legend>Firmware</legend> thingy or at least have a
Label-only element with "Firmware" in columnt 1 and an empty element in column 2 to
somewhat replicate that visual grouping?

@Dominik: better ideas?

Oh and made a follow up that changed the labels to "EFI Storage" and "TPM Storage",
respectively,

we do it like that already for the sync edit options in the realmedit,
so maybe we should stay consistent here and use the same style?

if you want, i can send a patch for this
