 # 1gpupassvm (Arch)
 ## Prerequisites
-* Ensure above 4g decoding and resizeable bar are disabled. Right now, they cause VM issues.
+* I own an AMD GPU, and so NVIDIA users will need to look elsewhere
+* I am not an expert, if this causes you issues or is in some way unideal, that's your responsibility to deal with
+* Ensure above 4g decoding is disabled in the bios. Right now, it causes VM issues.
 * Enable your respective virtualisation technology, for AMD, that's CSM in the bios.
 * Be on Arch. This branch is for Arch. [Click here for Fedora.](https://github.com/IssacDowling/1gpupassvm/tree/fedora)
+* Whenever I say "run", copy whatever's in that box into the terminal, and press enter.
+* Download what you'll need later, [VirtIO Drivers](https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.iso) and [Windows ISO](https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11/)

On a Ryzen 3600, they go from 0-11, meaning there are 12 threads, or 2x the core count, meaning it has hyperthreading. If you have double as many bars as cores, set threads on your VM to 2.

+* Click add hardware in the bottom left of the virtual machine manager, and select storage. Set the Bus Type to VirtIO instead of SATA, and pick however much storage you want.
 * Add hardware to your VM again, select storage, and set the device type to CDROM Device. Click "select or create custom storage", then browse to the VirtIO iso. Press finish

+* Inside LabConfig, make a new 32bit value called BypassTPMCheck. Double click it, set the value to one, then continue setup as normal by selecting a windows 11 edition.

+### Back to any Windows version

 * Now, press load drivers, then ok, and select the driver that appears with w11 (or whatever other version of windows you're using) in the name. Click it and press next.
 * Now click on Drive 0 unallocated space, and press next. Windows will install. 
 * When windows restarts, you may be put into windows, but you may be put into a terminal. If in the terminal,click the dropdown near the power icon at the top of the VM, and force it off.

 The avoid race condition section basically just waits to ensure previous bits of code are excecuted before continuing. For most people, this does not need to be 10, but for some it does. Start at 10, and then once we're done, try lowering it and seeing what works. Personally, I use 0.5
