# Easy-GPU-P
A Project dedicated to making GPU Partitioning on Windows easier!

WARNING: A work in progress...

Prerequisits:
* Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise
* Desktop Computer with dedicated NVIDIA GPU, or Intel GPU - Laptops with NVIDIA GPUs are not supported at this time.
* Latest GPU driver from Intel.com or NVIDIA.com, don't rely on Device manager or Windows update.
* Windows 11 ISO [downloaded from here](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11)
* Virtualisation enabled in the motherboard and Hyper-V fully enabled on the Windows 11 OS (requires reboot)
* Allow Powershell scripts to run on your system - typically by running "Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted" in Powershell

Instructions
1. Make sure your system meets the prerequisits.
2. [Download the Repo and extract](https://github.com/jamesstringerparsec/Easy-GPU-P/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)
3. Search your system for Powershell ISE and run as Administrator.
4. In the extracted folder you downloaded, open PreChecks.ps1 in Powershell ISE.
5. Open and Run PreChecks.ps1 in Powershell ISE using the green play button and copy the GPU Listed (or the warnings that you need to fix)
6. Open CopyFilesToVM.ps1 and edit the params section at the top of the file, you need to be careful about how much ram, storage and hard drive you give it as you system needs to have that available.  You also need to write the GPU name exactly how it appears in PreChecks.ps1.  Additionally, you need to provide a path to the Windows 11 ISO file.
7. Run CopyFilesToVM.ps1 with your changes to the params section - this may take 5-10 minutes.
8. View the VM in Hyper-V, once it gets to the Windows Desktop you will need to approve the certificate install request.
9. Sign into Parsec on the VM.
10. If you need audio, install Virtual Audio Cable (Google it).
11. You should be good to go!
