QEMU WINDOWS WINDOWS 10

Here you need to specify the VM name because the VM was picked up as windows 10 initially, the name also shows win10, and I am going to change it to Windows 11. If you would like to extend the storage later on in the KVM, you can follow the article here to extend it.ДЄfter defining the storage, Click on Forward. You can leave the default virtual hard disk storage as 40GB, but for my requirement, I would require 60GB, so choose the storage based on your requirement.Д¤0GB will be more than enough for most of the installations. We will be further changing the CPU configuration later on, Click on Forward. If you wanted to make changes here, you may increase it as per your requirement. Configure the Memory and CPU for windows 11.Д«y default, Qemu KVM will choose the Memory as 4GB and 2 CPUs, which is more than enough for daily operations. Windows 10 should work fine, so click on forward. Attach the windows 11 iso.Д¬lick on Browse to attach the windows 11 iso file, the KVM will automatically detect the operating system like Windows 10, at the time of this writing the windows11 is not in the KVM supported operating system, so you wonвЂ™t be able to find the windows11 by manually choosing the option either.

QEMU WINDOWS INSTALL

We will install windows 11 with an ISO image, so choose the option that says Local install media and click on forward. Choose the Windows 11 image for the installation.

This will open up the KVM virtual machine creation wizard. On the GUI type, click on the icon on the top left that says create a new virtual machine. Open terminal in your Linux host (CTRL + ALT + T) and on the command line type virt-manager, this will open up the virtualization manager GUI on your machine. We will enable the TPM and the secure boot during the installation. Once you have them configured come back here for the creation of windows 11 VM in KVM. In the same guide, we covered the command to install the secure boot as well in case if it is not installed. Follow the guide here to install the TPM on your KVM host.

QEMU WINDOWS SOFTWARE

To emulate the TPM we are going to install a software called swtpm-tools.

QEMU WINDOWS DRIVERS

Install QEMU virtio drivers for windows 11.

Begin the Windows 11 installation in KVM.

Configure the virtual hardware for windows 11 in KVM.

In this blog, we will look at installing Windows 11 on the Linux KVM hypervisor step by step.

In case if you are running Windows machine and wanted to run Windows 11 on hyper-v, I covered the article here. I have also covered how you can install windows 11 on a VMware workstation with TPM enabled here. If you donвЂ™t meet the minimum requirement especially TPM and Secureboot, you will get an error that says your PC cant run windows 11. I was able to get the windows VM installed when it was under beta in the Windows insider program, however, after the official ISO launch to the public, Microsoft made sure TPM is a requirement for the windows 11 virtual machines as well.

We can understand in the case of a physical machine, but what about the virtual machine? However, there is a problem! (DonвЂ™t worry, we have the solution for it рџЉ ) When Microsoft released Windows 11, they tightened the security and added TPM and Secure boot under the minimum requirement to install Windows 11 on any machine. In this blog will look at installing Windows 11 on the Linux KVM hypervisor step by step. On October 5 th, 2021, Microsoft announced the Windows 11 iso image to the public. Microsoft announced Windows 11 recently, and it is the cleanest and more polished version of windows out there.
