Hello Everyone

Sorry this has taken so long, but I have finally gotten the blog article written up for our session, part 1, for setting up a Veeam lab at home, for free

This walks you through everything we did on the session call to bring you up to where we left of

Hopefully people find this helpful as an alternative to the video session webinar, and also to help anyone who missed it as there was issues with the recording so you can be ready for part 2

Great guide ​@leaha, I had assumed that VMware workstation Pro was not free, having not used it in quite a long time. I have to get that up and running and compare it to Hyper-V on Windows 11.

Oh you gotta, one of the very few things Broadcom actually made free, definitely better vs Hyper-V IMO
Alternatively virtual box is also really good
