I'm trying to install Windows 10 64 bit (latest available official iso)
my environment:
- macbook pro 13 2020 (intel)
- macos BigSur (with all updates)
- qemu-system-x86_64 version 6.0.0
- os to install "Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso" from official Microsoft website
- virtio iso driver (tried with both virtio-win-0.1.185.iso and virtio-win-0.1.196.iso)
I start qemu with this command:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-smp 4 \
-M q35 \
-m 4096 \
-vga std \
-display vnc=:0 \
-netdev user,id=n0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=n0 \
-device virtio-serial-pci \
-device virtserialport,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 \
-chardev socket,id=qga0,port=8125,host=0.0.0.0,server,nowait \
-usb -device usb-tablet \
-qmp tcp:
0.0.0.0:8124,server,nowait \
-k it \
-boot d \
-drive file=./filesystem.qcow2,if=virtio,format=qcow2,index=0,media=disk \
-drive file=./Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso,index=1,media=cdrom \
-drive file=./virtio-win-0.1.185.iso,index=2,media=cdrom
Everything seems ok, because I can install Windows 10, but when it reboots and it prepares to start it hangs in the "Just a moment..." screen. After many minutes it reboots showing the message that Windows failed to start and it shows the troubleshooting page.
I didn't find any way to install windows 10, at the moment.
I also tried removing all "virtio" stuff from the command and also without "-M q35".
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
