[New Feature]: Upgrade manual validation hardware #107639
Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
The absence of support for newer versions of opengl and lack of an audio driver on the manual validation VM causes launch errors that are specific to the pipeline and would not happen in the real world or even on a self set-up clean VM i.e. virtualbox (making this hard for new contributors to preemptively test for). This blocks PRs like #107110 #107333 #107211 #106964 #107075 and would have blocked developer tools like #107422 if not for the latter clearly stating it requires opengl 3.3+ - supported on GPUs in the last five years and near ubiquitous on windows 11. Open source programs and games lean on the newer side of opengl support since mesa is the default graphics package for most of their Linux users, so this may become a more common issue for some of the packages already in winget.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
A better gpu driver and an audio device would resolve these issues.
