 ====== Proxmox - GPU Passthrough - Configure VM ======
+===== Download VirtIO drivers (Optional, but RECOMMENDED for Windows VMs) =====
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  The VirtIO ISO file contains the VirtIO drivers to mount as a CD-ROM in order to install Windows 10 using VirtIO (SCSI).
+For the CD-Rom, it is fine if use IDE or SATA.
+  * Make sure CD-ROM is selected as the primary boot device under the **Options** tab, when you are done creating the VM.
+  * Ensure that VirtIO (SCSI, not VirtIO Block) is selected for the Hard disk and Network Adapter.
+</WRAP>
+----
+===== Enable OMVF (UEFI) for the VM =====
+Under the VM **Options** Tab, set the following:
+  * Boot Order:  **CD-ROM, Disk (scsi0)**.
+  * SCSI Controller:  **VirtIO SCSI Single**.
+  * BIOS:  **OMVF (UEFI)**.
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  When you change the BIOS from SeaBIOS (Default) to OMVF (UEFI), Proxmox will say something about adding an EFI disk.
+In this case navigate to the **Hardware** Tab.
+  * **Add -> EFI Disk**.
+</WRAP>
+----
+===== Edit the VM Config File =====
+Edit **/etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf**, where <vmid> is the VM ID Number you used during the VM creation (General Tab).
+Add these lines.
+<file bash>
+machine: q35
+cpu: host,hidden=1,flags=+pcid
+args: -cpu 'host,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+kvm_pv_eoi,hv_vendor_id=NV43FIX,kvm=off'
+</file>
+----
+===== Add PCI Devices (The GPU) to VM =====
+Select the VM.
+Under the Hardware Tab, click on the **Add** button towards the top.
+Then under the drop-down menu, click **PCI Device**.
+Look for the GPU in the list, and select it.
+On the PCI options screen, you should only need to configure it like so:
+  * All Functions: **Checked**.
+  * Rom-Bar: **Checked**.
+  * Primary GPU: **Not Checked**.
+  * PCI-Express:  **Checked**.  This requires **machine: q35** in the VM config file.
