Set up a Windows 11 machine on your desktop and make it reachable from your Android phone.
You're aiming to run a Windows 11 setup on your PC and access it from an Android tablet over your local network. It sounds like you're exploring options similar to what Linus and the group demonstrated using a single machine. Since you're not familiar with the setup, I can guide you through possible steps and tools that might help. Let me know if you'd like detailed instructions or alternatives!
The best way to connect to your machine is through remote desktop tools, which are likely the simplest option unless you need a dedicated Windows setup for remote access.
It's referred to as a virtual machine. You execute programs like VMware, VirtualBox, KVM, etc., that mimic virtual hardware, allowing you to set up another operating system as if it were running on genuine hardware. You might also use a remote desktop for Android to access Windows, or simply connect directly to your regular desktop without needing a VM, unless you require simultaneous work on both.
Hyper-V isn't required for running virtual machines. Just ensure VT or SVM is activated in the BIOS.
OP didn't mention the specific Win11 version they used and Hyper-V is available but isn't their choice, just like VirtualBox isn't theirs.
Thank you for your feedback. I attempted remote desktop and it functioned well, but it only mimics a desktop view rather than offering a tablet experience. I’m uncertain about linking YouTube videos from other channels here. My goal was to use my PC hardware to start Windows and control the tablet with Windows. Is this possible via remote desktop? Windows 10 had a button for switching between tablet and desktop, but Windows 11 doesn’t. Anyone know how to achieve this on Windows 11 Pro?
They are leveraging Windows Insider releases, essentially beta versions. This feature might appear in future updates like the upcoming Win11 22H2, though it's not confirmed. Currently, most tablet-like features aren't present on desktops or laptops and appear to be limited to touch-enabled devices, which your desktop likely isn't. For details, refer to the link provided, which references a Win11 21H2 build from around the time of publication.
