Cloud DMA on a single PC — how does the Hyper-V arrangement actually work?
Closed thread Editorial exampleThe thing that put me off DMA for years was the hardware. Second machine, PCIe card, USB bridge, all of it. The Cloud DMA docs apparently describe a single-PC arrangement using a Hyper-V virtual environment and an external service connection, and explicitly say no second PC, no USB DMA bridge and no PCIe card.
That's the version I'd actually consider. But the docs also name GREENWARD, Static Server and AWS as separate requirements, and they're listed as distinct components rather than alternatives, which sounds like three things to line up rather than one.
Anyone further along able to explain how those pieces relate to each other? And does Windows edition matter, or is Pro just recommended for convenience?

Replies are closedPro, Enterprise or Education is recommended for the Hyper-V setup specifically, with edition-specific guidance. Home is the awkward one.
So it's a real constraint, not just a suggestion.
It's framed as recommended. Whether Home works with workarounds isn't spelled out.
Three separate components that all have to be in place is the bit that would worry me. Any one of them being down and you've got nothing.
Yeah. Worth confirming they're all current requirements before building a plan around it rather than assuming they're bundled.
