Hi All,

Okay, I give up.  I can not find a CPU the general
release of Windows 11 likes.  It wants a

    Comet Lake
    Coffee Lake

And they are not on qemu's CPU list.
Does your 'actual' bare-metal CPU(s) is such that w11 will be happy with?
I do not think 'qemu' can "fake" any CPU for you at your or anybody's whim, especially not 'KVM' You would normally think of 'qemu-kmv', when it comes to 'faking' a CPU(family) as "going down a shelf"
Most revealing should be going with:

   <cpu mode='host-passthrough' migratable='on(or off)'>
     <cache mode='passthrough'/>
   </cpu>

My host's cpu is not supported.   I was hoping for a
fake CPU (there are about 20 of them to choose from)
would do the trick.

Oh and those turkeys from M$ allowed the i440 to
work with the pre-releases but shot it down on
the general release.  So it looks like I am
stuck with the pre-release until they kill switch
it on me.

My Supermicro X11SAE-M motherboard, Xeon E3-1225v6,
and my Samsung NVMe drive are awesome.  I was hoping
they would last me until I retire or this jobs  kills
me.  W11's artificial blocks are really, really
annoying (I am cleaning up my wording as this
is a family forum).

I am hoping some hackers figure a way to bypass the
artificial CPU block as they did with the artificial
Windows 7 block on Microsoft office.


And if your w11(btw. why would you bother with windows anyway - ahh... don't answer) is happy with that, then that's what you should be looking at in terms of closest sibling.


The reason I have to support Windows products
is that I need to feed my family and 98% of my
customers are on Windows.  Linux is a far superior
operating system than Windows, and not by a little,
by a lot, but it will not run the command applications
the customers demand: Quick Books, etc.

And Wine is no help as it is caught up in the Open
Source economic model where you give away the source
for free and hold the customer hostage for support.
Libre Office is the same way.  So if you are an
individual or a small business that can't afford
to put the developers of such projects on your
payroll, you are screwed.

Zero of my customers will use Libre Office because
of all the bugs and the awkwardness.  But after
using LO for a month, they do not gripe about the
cost of M$O, which is good for me.  I get
a bit weary of the griping over the price of
things.

I ADORE linux, but the only work I get from it is of
my own making: servers, grandparents.  The work is
just not out there.  And don't tell me churches:
their admin software is all Windows based.

And I am fully aware if it were not for Windows
quality problems, I would not have a job.  I
would posit that linux required only about 1/20th
the support than does Windows.  I have maintained
Linux and Windows servers side by side.  I was
shocked at all the fussing that Windows servers
required
