Making Magic: Linux KVM Virtualization running Windows on a $70 i3 ITX Board

Experience how a budget ITX motherboard—priced at around $70 and equipped with an Intel i3 processor—can deliver robust virtualization capabilities. We install Linux Mint (Debian Edition) with a full GUI, Timeshift, and Copilot for convenient system restores and backups. On top of this modest hardware, we set up KVM, Virt-Manager, and QEMU to showcase near-native virtual machine performance.
Watch as we spin up Windows 11 24H2 with smooth results, proving you can reliably host multiple VMs—potentially up to five—without resorting to expensive, high-end hardware. We also spotlight KVM’s enterprise-grade features, including live migration, snapshots, cloning, NUMA support, and PCI passthrough. This demonstration underscores the efficiency, scalability, and real-world practicality of Linux-based virtualization—even on sub-par systems.
