Hi all,
Didier, for some reason your script is giving me a "no bootable device"
error, but needs must, thus, here are two scripts and instructions for
use. I will post the scripts inline.
First, create a folder for your VM. I did:
$mkdir ~/qemu
Then copy the Windows .iso in to that folder and rename to windos.iso as
follows
$cd ~/qemu
$cp ~/Downloads/Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso windows.iso
Now we make the virtual disk, the script doesn't do that for you.
#qemu-img create -f qcow2 windows.qcow2 128G
Mine is 128 GB in size, only because I use my Windows to make a living.
Now take the script below and save it as 'installwin.sh' do not copy the
quotes on the blank lines at the top and botom, I put them there to
indicate the script code.
"
#!/bin/zsh
cd `dirname $0`
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu
host,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vapic,hv_time -m 4G -smp cores=2
-soundhw hda -device intel-hda -device hda-duplex -audiodev
pa,id=pa,out.mixing-engine=off,out.latency=20000 -hda windows.qcow2 -nic
user,smb="${HOME}/" -usbdevice braille -boot c -cdrom windows.iso -boot d
"
Make it executable.
#chmod a+x ~/qemu/installwin.sh
Now you run it and install Windows the normal way.
To actually start Windows, use the script below. Mine is saved as
'startwin.sh'
"
#!/bin/zsh
cd `dirname $0`
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu
host,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vapic,hv_time -m 8G -smp cores=2
-soundhw hda -device intel-hda -device hda-duplex -audiodev
pa,id=pa,out.mixing-engine=off,out.latency=20000 -hda windows.qcow2 -nic
user,smb="${HOME}/" -usbdevice braille -boot c
"
Please note, this set of scripts will let you install and run Windows in
bios boot, not in EFI.
