Speaking of Windows 11 requiring UEFI. I found this article that says Windows 10 has tools already shipped with it to convert Windows 10 from BIOS to UEFI: https://www.maketecheasier.com/convert-legacy-bios-uefi-windows10/ I may copy my VM image to a safe backup location and see if I can convert my existing Windows 10 KVM from BIOS to UEFI successfully (and not have Microsoft tell me it breaks my activation for my single PC only OEM Windows version). What do I do to the KVM definition to switch to UEFI? I assume I need to point to a different bios in the xml or something like that?
Probably..... I have a win10 (bios) and win11 (uefi). Looking at their xml definition. win10 <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.1'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> <bootmenu enable='yes'/> </os> win11 <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-5.2'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader> <nvram>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/win11_VARS.fd</nvram> </os> So, I suppose you can use that as I guide. I await the results of your "experiment". :-) :-) -- Remind me to ignore comments which aren't germane to the thread. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
