UEFI instead of BIOS for Developer VMs - Testing EDGE and Application Defender Application Guard #10

Open albatross666 opened 6 years ago

albatross666 commented 6 years ago

UEFI is not the method chosen for VMs provided to test EDGE, so features like Application Defender Application Guard CANNOT be tested.

There are a few VMs available to download to test Edge … https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ …

The VMWare images for the latest Windows image uses BIOS, so Application Defender Application Guard CANNOT be tested.

Can UEFI versions for VMWare be also provided for testing? Thanks!

I've been doing a bit of research and it seems the way to achieve this will be to add these sections (might have to find a more up to date documentation) in this part of the template

I'll see if I have time to test this on the falls creator update, will be nice to have it before the next insider.

Thanks @albatross666

At the same time we do this, we should enable Gen2 VMs for HyperV for the same purpose. Some information on how to do this in this PR https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows/pull/71/files

I should start on this sometime next week.

@albatross666 The latest insider should be generated using UEFI and not BIOS. Changes aren't uploaded in the repo yet because I I still need to figure out how to share in the best way the configurations for different machines.
