 ====== VirtualBox Windows 10 / 11 performance issues ======
 ===== Intro =====
-It's possible to have severe performance issues using VirtualBox on Windows. This is usually caused by Microsoft forcing their own Hyper-v hypervisor to startup with Windows in the background. This blocks direct access to intel's and AMD's virtualization on the CPU's. VirtualBox is therefore forced to fallback to Hyper-V, running all VM's as nested VM's on top of it.

 ===== Solution 1: =====
-Use a host OS that's not architecturally defective at it's core, e.g something based on a Linux distro of choice! Preferably Proxmox!
+I would highly recommend using a Linux OS for virtualization when possible! One of my preferences is Proxmox, which is free to use and supports a wide range of advanced features.
