Any tips? Or do I just need to buy a cheap SSD and format it EXT4 just for virtual machine images?
Did you install the virtual disk and network drivers from redhat inside the Windows machine? If not, you are doing everything with dead slow emulation. I get fairly decent performance with my windows VM, but only by using the redhat drivers.
Exactly. This makes a big difference. Using an SSD will also be a winner of course. I do both and performance is good (enough to run AAA games on my Win10 VM using VFIO passthrough of an Nvidia GPU.)
This is all done with libvirt. I don't use Gnome Boxes so YMMV.
