Windows 11 Enterprise Virtual Machine images downloads

Windows 11 Enterprise virtual machine images are now available. You can download the images for several popular virtualization applications directly from Microsoft’s Developer website.

Note that the virtual images include more than just a Windows 11 Enterprise installation. They are designed for developers and include several applications, e.g. Virtual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio Code. Developer Mode is also enabled automatically on these installations.

How to download Windows 11 Enterprise

Note that the title of the page is mentioning Windows 10 –Get a Windows 10 desktop environment — but that the downloads are for Windows 11; this is likely something that Microsoft has overlooked and will address in the future.

To download the virtual machine images, do the following:

  1. Visit the Microsoft Developer website. The downloads are listed directly on the site that opens.
  2. Select one of the available Windows 11 Enterprise virtual machine images. All have a size of about 20 Gigabytes. The latest is the VMWare image, the smallest the Parallels image The following virtual images are provided:
    1. VMWare virtual image Windows 11 Enterprise.
    2. Hyper-V virtual image Windows 11 Enterprise.
    3. VirtualBox virtual image Windows 11 Enterprise.
    4. Parallels virtual image Windows 11 Enterprise.
  3. The download of the file starts immediately after one of the buttons is activated on the page.

The virtual machine images are set to expire on January 9, 2022 automatically. They contain a Windows 11 Enterprise installation with Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu) and Developer Mode enabled.

Windows Terminal, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio 2019 and Windows 10 SDK version 2004 are installed as well.

The virtual machine images are designed primarily for developers, but none developers may use them as well to run Windows 11 Enterprise. Unless Enterprise is required specifically, it may be faster to download another edition of Windows 11 instead and create a virtual machine image manually using the downloaded ISO file.

Closing Words

The evaluation period feels rather short, considering that the images do expire in early January of 2022. Add the Holiday period of part of the globe to that, and you end up with just a few weeks in which the environment can be used in organizations.

Can you run it? Gamers may recognize the phrase, it is the tag line of a popular benchmarking service that determines whether your computer can run a game or not. It’s actually a pretty terrible way to judge the performance of your system, but things like these have a cult/meme status. Now, if you are curious whether your PC can handle a game, there is a way you can get an idea. The Xbox app now displays a rating to indicate how the games will perform on your computer.

Latest Ventoy includes VentoyPlugson, a GUI configuration tool

Image
Ventoy 1.0.62, the latest version of the popular open source tool to create bootable USB devices using disk images such as ISO, includes a new tool called VentoyPlugson. VentoyPlugson gives Ventoy users a graphical user interface to configure the tool. Up until now, Ventoy users could only configure the application through the ventoy.json file directly; this option is not going away, and users can even mix and match both options, e.g. by using VentoyPlugson to create a ventoy.json file and then editing the file manually to tweak it further, The latest release version of Ventoy includes the tool in the zip archive. Windows users need to extract the archive that they download from the official repository and run VentoyPlugson.exe afterwards. ADVERTISEMENT It displays a small GUI. Select the Ventoy USB device and then the Start button; this should open the configuration page in the default browser. If that does not work, use the Link button instead. There is also a refresh button i

Progressive Web Apps for Firefox Extension

Image
Progressive Web Apps for Firefox is a browser extension for Mozilla’s Firefox web browser and a command line utility to install, manage and use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Firefox. Mozilla’s Firefox web browser supports many of the APIs that PWAs use, but Mozilla decided some time ago to remove installation options from Firefox. Most Chromium-based browsers support installing PWAs directly from within. Installation on desktop systems adds these applications to the Start Menu for quick access, and these apps launch in their own dedicated window. Progressive Web Apps for Firefox introduces a number of features to Firefox that users of the browser may find useful. Some functionality may even be useful to users who don’t use PWAs. ADVERTISEMENT PWAs that are installed in Firefox through the extension benefit from a number of extra features. One of the most interesting features of the extension is that PWAs are run in an isolated Firefox extension that may use multiple profiles to s
