Mastering Proxmox - Third Edition

Model

This is a drop-down menu to select the virtual network interface type. For maximum network performance, the use of VirtIO is highly recommended. Windows does not come with a VirtIO driver. So if this is used for a Windows VM, we have to manually load the driver from the ISO we have downloaded in The Hard Disk tab section of this chapter. We can also use Intel E1000 for Windows VMs. From Windows 7 onward, the driver for Intel is included.
