I am aware that several versions of linux are capable of being loaded fully into ram for running the os directly as a ram disk. I am trying to determine the feasibility of doing this with windows 10. I do not know if this is something that will have to be done at the motherboard firmware level preboot, or if it would require booting a virtual machine and loading said machine into ram (which would have more overhead obviously) machine is a xeon equipped workstation with 256gb of ddr4.
