1. Virtual Machine

It's Just One Click

Everything is automated — just download, run the script, and your VM will be ready with streaming, audio, and gaming optimizations. No manual configuration needed.

The setup takes around 10-20 minutes. Grab a coffee and let it work.


Before You Start

Make sure you have:

  • Windows 10/11 Pro (Home edition won't work)

  • NVIDIA or AMD GPU with the latest drivers

  • Virtualization enabled in your BIOS settings

  • At least 200 GB free disk space and 10 GB RAM

Not sure if virtualization is enabled? Search "System Information" in Windows, look for "Virtualization-based security". If your PC was built in the last 5 years, it's probably already on. If not, Google "enable virtualization [your motherboard brand]".


Setup Guide

1. Download

Download the Setup Toolkitarrow-up-right

Extract the ZIP anywhere on your PC. Everything you need is included — Windows ISO, scripts, and tools.

2. Configure (Optional)

The defaults work for most users. If you want to tweak anything, open config.json:

What
Default
When to change

diskSizeGB

150 GB

Only if you're low on disk space

memoryGB

6 GB

Increase if you have 32 GB+ RAM

cpuCores

4

Increase if you have 8+ cores

gpuAllocationPercent

30%

Increase for better graphics

3. Run

Right-click Setup.ps1 and select "Run with PowerShell".

That's it. The script will:

  1. Enable Hyper-V (may require one reboot)

  2. Create your VM with GPU sharing

  3. Install the streaming server inside the VM

  4. Connect Moonlight so you can see the VM screen

If it asks you to reboot, do it, then run Setup.ps1 again. It picks up where it left off.

4. Connect

When the script finishes:

  1. Open Moonlight (it was installed for you)

  2. Your VM appears as a computer — click it

  3. You're in! Install BDO inside the VM

VM login: username pixel, password pixel


After Setup

Updating GPU Drivers

Whenever you update your GPU drivers on your main PC, run this to sync them to the VM:


Something Not Working?

Problem
What to do

GPU Error 43

Open PowerShell, run wsl --shutdown, then run .\scripts\UpdateDrivers.ps1

VM seems stuck

Be patient — Windows installation takes 10-15 minutes the first time

Moonlight doesn't show the VM

Check the manual pairing guide below

Script asks for reboot

Normal! Reboot and run Setup.ps1 again

Manual Pairing

If Moonlight didn't connect automatically:

  1. Open Moonlight and click + to add a computer

  2. Type the VM's IP address (the script shows it in the terminal)

  3. A 4-digit PIN appears — copy it

  4. Run OpenApolloUI.ps1 — it opens the Apollo dashboard in your browser automatically

  5. Login with pixel / pixel, click PIN Pairing, paste the PIN

The browser will warn about the certificate — that's normal, click Advanced > Proceed.
