Deploy Stargate on Windows Pro (non-Pro versions do not support Hyper-V)

Install Hyper-V

Import the image file and create a VM with it

  • Uncheck "This machine will run Windows"
  • Click "Change installation source", navigate to the downloaded .VHDX image and click on it

Attach the Data Disk first

Before the first boot, attach a second, blank disk of at least 30 GB. On first boot the appliance formats it as the Data Disk (VEREIGN-DATA, mounted at /var/data) and keeps all config and data there; without it the boot fails and rolls back. See Installation guide → Step 4.

Install HIN Gateway

After the VM has been successfully created, proceed with the installation and onboarding steps as described in the provided instructions
