Hi. Could anyone point me on the the reports of successfully running the Qemu with Windows ARM64 as host? I'm sure that this should be possible since Qemu is able function as a frontend for Hyper-V. And yet, it would seem that nobody tried this so far, for whatever reason.

Can't you just try it yourself?

The reason why people don't want to run this on Windows ARM64 host is because they already got that, why they want another Windows ARM64? You might think it's for having a sandbox, but for that we have Windows Sandbox. You might think it's for testing the OS, but we have Hyper-V for that.

In fact, I've been thinking about doing this myself, but decided to check whether there is someone who already did this or not. Contributing into the existing attempt is always better than reinventing the wheel after all.

The virtual machines can be used for a lot of things. The disposable sandboxes for the untrusted software, simulation of the network of machines, debugging of the kernel-mode code and other scenarios like that.
