Network Speed

[sukpmp]

Hi, I am running a Windows 11 Beta VM on a Mac. I'm seeing internet speeds of around 70mbps on the Mac but less than a tenth of that on the virtual machine. It is setup to share the connections. Any ideas what's going on?

1. It's beta code.

2. What is the NIC type that Windows detects in the VM hardware?

3. How is Windows performing generally inside the VM?

Thanks, which page is that on?

I assume you mean Q2, that's in Windows, in Device Manager (assuming that's still in Windows 11)

Hi, The general performance isn't great to be honest, in fact maybe that's the underlying problem. Is it best to do a shared network or another option? What should performance be like, similar to how Windows would run on this machine?

What is the compute resource spec of your Mac?
