If you are on Linux/KVM, you can use the qemu-img utility to convert virtual disk images or create a new QCOW2 disk from the installation.
Downloading a new Windows 10 qcow2 image allows you to circumvent long installation times. By leveraging community repositories or building your own image with up-to-date VirtIO drivers, you can have a high-performance Windows 10 virtual machine running on Linux in minutes. Always ensure you verify the integrity of downloaded images to maintain security.
If you are setting up this virtual machine for a specific environment, let me know. I can provide the for your specific hypervisor, help you slipstream VirtIO drivers directly into the image, or guide you through bypassing the 90-day evaluation limit . Share public link
When the Windows installer asks "Where do you want to install Windows?", the drive list will be blank because the VirtIO storage driver is missing. Click -> Browse . Navigate to the attached VirtIO CD-ROM drive.
