# Creating a Virtual Machine using UTM
|
|
This guide is a rough guideline what changes need to made to a normal Windows VM in UTM so it works with Quickemu.
|
|
|
|
## Install UTM and create a VM
|
|
First, get UTM from https://mac.getutm.app. Also get CrystalFetch from the Mac App Store ([this link will open it in the App Store for you](https://mac.getutm.app/crystalfetch/)).
|
|
Now, follow the "Create new VM" wizard to create your Windows VM. When prompted for a Windows ISO image, point it to the file you downloaded using CrystalFetch.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**:
|
|
> When getting the Windows image, make sure to select Windows 10/11 Professional.
|
|
> **Home will not suffice as RDP is not available there**
|
|
|
|
## Make the required changes to the VM configuration
|
|
> Note:
|
|
> There's probably a better way to do this, but I don't know how
|
|
> Also, the text in the screenshots is partially in German since
|
|
> apparently there's no way to change the display language in UTM
|
|
|
|
Open up the VM options. <br />
|
|
Now go to the network tab and select "Emulated VLAN".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new tab in the sidebar under Network "Port Forwarding" will open up.
|
|
Add 2 Entries: One for UDP Port 3389 and one for TCP 3389.
|
|
Leave the Guest address and the Host address empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once that's done, start the VM and go through the setup process as you would set up any Windows machine.
|
|
|
|
## Set up RDP on the VM
|
|
|
|
Once you finish the install, you will need to make some registry changes to enable RDP Applications to run on the system. Start by downloading the [RDPApps.reg](/install/RDPApps.reg) file, right clicking on the `Raw` button, and clicking on `Save target as`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have downloaded the registry file, right click on it, and choose `Merge`, then accept any confirmations along the way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next up, we need to rename the VM so that WinApps can locate it. Go to the start menu and type `About` to bring up the `About your PC` settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scroll down and click on `Rename this PC`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rename to `RDPWindows`, and then `Next`, but **do not** restart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly, scroll down to `Remote Desktop`, and toggle `Enable Remote Desktop` on, and `Confirm`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point you will need to restart and you have completed your setup.
|
|
|
|
Rather than restart you can go right ahead and install other applications like Microsoft Office or Adobe CC that could be used through WinApps.
|
|
|
|
You may also wish to install the [Spice Guest Tools](https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe) inside the VM which enables features like auto-desktop resize and cut-and-paste when using `virt-manager`. As WinApps uses RDP, this is not necessary if you do not plan to access the machine via `virt-manager`.
|
|
|
|
Once you are finished, restart the VM, but do not log in. Simply close the VM viewer, and close the Virtual Machine Manager.
