Cannot add Target

Hi,
I am new to StarWind. Just downloaded and installed StarWind Free on a regular Win10 system. StarWind Management Console works fine, my computer is correctly shown as the first server. I want to add the C-drive of my Win10 system as a iSCSI-target. However, the entry Add Target under the Target tab is greyed out. I must have missed something while configuring the server, but I need a little help.
Thanks, Roel

Hi Roel,
Welcome to StarWind forum. StarWind on Win 10 is not supported (see

Also, we do not recommend keeping images on C:\

Let's be realistic. Almost nobody is going to use Starwind for anything more than proof of concept iSCSI. Having to deploy it on a Winows Server is silly, considering that the Server already has the built in iSCSI as Target functionality. Add to it this too:

Hi,
Thank you for the article. I am afraid that you are missing many cool features of VSAN, e.g., high availability, out of your view. StarWind VSAN is more than just an iSCSI target. It is a software to virtualize not only the storage but also RAM of your servers. Find out more about caching in VSAN

Furthermore StarWind VSAN is not a Windows-Server-only soulution for a while already.
