Basic information:
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 3060 Dual OC
Host: Windows Server 2019 ; VM: Windows 11 Pro

I did read in "prerequisites" that host and VM must be the same OS in order to avoid of compatibility issues. I am wondering if there is any way I can bypass this? Since my server has to be installed Windows Server 2019 in favor of hardware RAID running stability and link aggregation advanced functions, which means I can't convert to Windows 11 on my host to satisfy the consistency requirement on OS.

On the other hand, I would not like to install Windows Server 2019 on my Hyper-V because the purpose of this VM is to provide Windows 11 Pro OS for my Macs via remote desktop, for running some software not supported on Mac, light 3D game design and testing, and playing Steam sometimes. As you know, many consumer-aimed programs are not able to be installed on Windows Server OS family.

So this is a dilemma and I am looking for a solution to solve this. The issue description as below:

  1. Configured Hyper-V and installed Windows 11 Pro, succeeded;
  2. On my host PowerShell, added the GPU partition adapter by command lines, succeeded;
  3. Copied "nv" drivers from System32 - DriverStore - FileRepository folder on my host, and pasted to System32 - HostDriverStore - FileRepository on my VM, succeeded;
  4. Reboot the VM and check the status of graphic card on devices manager: under display devices, there are three devices:
    - Hyper-V video display driver - ignored
    - Remote desktop display driver - ignored
    - Microsoft Virtual Render Driver - this is the RTX 3060 card, and in hardware description, it said "this device need to be further installed", and 3DMark can't recognize this device, and the value of this device is "False". All these threads proved that the graphic card was recognized but not correctly installed.

I have a guess: if there are extracted drivers of the same card installed on Windows 11, will they make my card correctly installed on VM? Is there any source that may share such drivers?

Thank you all in advance.
