### Step 11.10 — Create VM 102 (Windows 11, Sync.com) ### Step 11.10 — Install Ubuntu Desktop in VM 100
VM 102 is a Windows 11 VM that runs the Sync.com desktop client for cloud
backup. Syncthing on VM 100 (Services) mirrors NAS data to VM 102's local
NTFS drive, and Sync.com picks it up natively.
Click **Create VM** again.

Click **Finish**.
Then pass a dedicated data drive to VM 102 for Sync.com to sync to:
```bash
# Use one of your spare HDDs — Sync.com data lives here (formatted NTFS in Windows)
qm set 102 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/PLACEHOLDER_SYNC_DRIVE
```
> **Why a dedicated drive?** Sync.com needs a real local NTFS disk — not a
> network share, not a shared folder. Windows formats this drive NTFS and
> Sync.com treats it as a native local drive. Syncthing on VM 100 (Services)
> pushes data to it over the LAN.
