Thank you for elaborate and detailed guide. I tried failed until finally I got it right. The failure was because my carelessness. Nevertheless after few attempts I learned few things.
Hi great job sir! I haver this error when I start the Windows 11 installation: unable to complete the installation. 'internal error: cannot load AppArmor profile 'libvirt-7a627c34-6f57-4abe-9a08-511a8a2f541c''. I am new to Linux and KVM and I don’t know how to solve this. Can you please help me? Thanks in advance!
Sir you are super good to explain, thank you for your best website,ould you please make more video with qemu, really you are the only one who explaining KVM so professional and easy for everyone.
@SysGuides sounds really cool, thanks a lot, just curious, is it possible to export your configuration in a file to decrease human monkey-repeating operations?
Most excellent! Please do a GPU passthrough video Love the idea of a Windows VM within Ubuntu, though the graphics performance is so very limiting in its current form - which is odd, as my system is very powerful(CPU/GPU etc)
If you're going to disable all Visual effects, I would still recommend keeping the following enabled: Smooth edges of screen fonts Show window contents while dragging Show thumbnails instead of icons
II solved the installation startup by setting security_driver = "none" in the qemu.conf file. Now I have the problem that during the installation it doesn’t see the network card. It’s an issue with Virtio drivers on Windows 11? I have a Lenovo P16s with an i7 1260P. The Windows 11 installation is currently halted because it requires at least Wi-Fi for a network connection. Can U hep me, Sir?
This is the absolute best video explaining how to install Windows 11 in KVM. Followed all the instructions and the result is superb. Thank you so much!!
I downloaded the iso from the windows website. And I've done everything from the previous video and that too. When I try to install it, this text pop out " no bootable device or option was found"
In the Windows 11 VM's 'Show Virtual Hardware Details', click 'Add Hardware' -> 'USB Host Device' and select your USB device. Then, click Finish. Your USB device will now be available in the Windows 11 VM.
I find virtualbox 3d acceleration performance better than this setup with the qxl or even the vitio graphics. I tested this with Fusion 360 and trying to rotate/pan a design in a VM. QEMU/KVM was choppy, and virtualbox is smooth doing that action in Fusion 360. QEMU/KVM will likely perform better for non-3d tasks, I/O and CPU/Mem based workflows. Neither are suitable for gaming without a passthrough GPU.
@@jayrony69 Try this virtio-win.iso: fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.240-1/virtio-win-0.1.240.iso
@@SysGuides Still didn't work, as soon as I hit begin installation it just says "Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support video model 'qxl"
I've followed everything to the letter, but after selecting _Begin Installation_ I get: Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..... BdsDxe: No bootable option or device was found. BdsDxe: Press any key to enter the Boot Manager Menu.
hi @sysGuides , wonderful guide I have a problem , everytime i boot the windows vm , the first time i get a BSOD saying "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" , any suggestions ? Thanks
not unless you do GPU passthrough, which means you'll ONLY be able to run Windows vs. the native OS. I've tried this several times only to find out it's one or the other, you can't run the native OS AND Windows VM. I went back to vmware workstation and/or Bottles (testing and playing around with both)
Shut down Windows 11. In the virtual hardware details, navigate to the CPUs section. Enable 'Manually set CPU topology'. And change it as follows: (1) Socket:1, (2) Core: The number of cores you want to enable, and (3) Thread: 1. Start Windows 11 and see if this solves the problem.
@@SysGuides Thanks for the reply but unfortunately this doesn't work either. Interestingly this isn't an issue when I run windows 10 as a vm. Both windows 10 and ubuntu vm use less than 10% CPU when idle. Only in windows 11 it *almost* never gets below 100%, and when it does, it hovers around 60-70% usage. I noticed this issue when my fans got loud while windows 11 was idling.
i would like to install on an existing windows machine and so would need to create a P2V of the original system and then install linux (Alma) then use KVM to create the VM from the ?VHD image from ?Disk2VM (would other converters be better and why)....it would be nice to access files from the image without having to create a VM and copy and paste them.
My Win11 installation is hanging after the UEFI startup screen, during the rotating spinner... I suppose something went wrong but I cannot figure out why...
I can switch over to Virtio for the display driver in the properties, and it allows me to resize the resolution, but still not auto-size and can't include 2560 x 1440. Strange
Yes, of course. First, mount the virtio-win.iso and boot Windows 11. Install the virtio-win-guest-tools package and then shut down. Then, change the VM configurations.
@@SysGuides As it turns out, my version of Virtual Machine Manager doesn't allow me to change the disk bus type once I install. Maybe I didn't do the initial install correctly, but thankfully I have this tutorial to use this time. Thank you for your help!
Thank you. In my case, the 'Auto resize VM with window' worked after installing the spice-guest-tools-latest.exe package on the windows 11 virtual machine.
How can I troubleshoot audio issues within a Windows guest operating system hosted on Linux, and would it be possible for you to create a video tutorial illustrating the troubleshooting process?
Followed your step-by-step to the letter... Thoughts on this? Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: storage type 'dir' requires use of storage format 'fat''
@@SysGuides Cool, thanks! Also, Why didnt you chose to manually set the CPU topology? I followed the tutorial but assigning 12 cores now shows a just 1 cpu at task manager, and the cpu reaches 100% easily.
Under power management there is also a performace setting you can select: Settings > System > Power > Power Mode > Best Performance I really liked some of your other performance tips, went back to my to apply the ones I missed, excellent setup video.
You’re most welcome. Yes, the procedure is the same for Windows 10 Professional. Make sure to use virtio-win.iso version 0.1.240. fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/
Download the stable virtio-win version directly from the website and try it. fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.240-1/
When I use QXL for the display output, I am not able to change the resolution on the Windows 11 guest, and it's stuck on 1280 X 800. I have it configured exactly as you have included on the tutorial, but it's not working correctly. And I don't have the option to auto resize the VM to Windows
I have installed virtio drivers. However, I cant get auto resize screen to work. Im stuck on 1280x800 resolution too. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. ☺️👍
Have you used the virtio-win version 0.1.248 ISO file? This version does not support QXL, so auto-resizing is not possible. Use version 0.1.240 instead. The link is here: fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/
