My system has a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430 @ 2.20GHz platform. I've been playing around with creating my first windows VM in my FreeNAS box. There is a question about how many virtual CPUs I'd like to allocate which leads me to some questions.
CPU Spec sheet - https://ark.intel.com/products/6461...E5-2430-15M-Cache-2_20-GHz-7_20-GTs-Intel-QPI
Cores = 6
Threads = 12
Questions:
1. What are the max amount of virtual CPUs I could assign?
2. While I know subjective, what is a recommended range for running windows 10? Thinking of running an ispy set up in the VM but nothing else majorly intensive.
3. Is it possible to increase virtual CPU amount after creating windows VM?
Other notables about my system:
1. 48GB Ram
2. FreeNAS-11.1-RELEASE
Thanks in advance
