Use your favorite text editor to create the following script.

Adjust paths as necessary if that is not the case. Note that this script assumes that the two ISO files downloaded earlier were placed in the vm directory we created. Now, we'll create the following script to start our virtual machine and begin Windows 10 installation. We now have an empty virtual disk image called win10.img in our home directory. User $ cd user $ mkdir vm user $ cd vm user $ qemu-img create -f raw win10.img 30G Raw disk images offer better performance than the commonly-used QCOW2 format. In this tutorial, we are going to create a 30GB raw disk image for Windows 10. Do this first, as described on the KVM page - then come back here.Īt the time of this writing, the latest version of the virtio ISO is virtio-win-0.1.149.iso Create Raw Disk These instructions also cover the process of emerging qemu, which is also necessary. If you build your kernel from scratch, please see the KVM page for detailed instructions on how to enable KVM.

If you are using an automatically-built kernel, it is likely that kernel support for KVM is already available. See the SPICE section for tweaks that you will need to make to these instructions if you plan to run Windows 10 on a Funtoo Linux system that you will connect to remotely.įollow these steps for the system that will be running the virtual machine. This can be a local Linux system, or if you are using SPICE (see SPICE), a local or remote system. You will need KVM to be set up on the machine that will be running the virtual machine. It allows you to create and start hardware-accelerated virtual machines under Linux using the QEMU tools. KVM is a hardware-accelerated full-machine hypervisor and virtualization solution included as part of kernel 2.6.20 and later. If you have adaptations to the docs for other Linux distributions, please feel free leaving the steps at the talk page and we'll consider adding them. But we are happy to have this page be a good general resource for Windows 10 under KVM for all Linux distros. They may need to be adapted somewhat for other Linux distributions. While this page provides a good introduction to how to run Windows 10 with Linux KVM, some parts of these instructions are specific to Funtoo Linux.
