Here you can select all kinds of storage pool types. The simples one is is the Filesystem Directory, which I’ll use. You need to give it a name - in my case kvm_storage. Now just select the path to the directory.Īfter the storage pool is created, select it on the left side of the window and klick on the plus button above the right table to create a new storage volume. You should check the minimum requirements for the operating system you are going to install. For best performance choose the raw format. The qcow2 format offers some advanced features such as copy on write and live snapshots (Source: proxmox). I don’t need this features for my use case, so I choose performance over features. In addition you need to decide the capacity as well as how much of this capacity should be already allocated at the hosts system. At the end give the storage a name, this name will be used as a filename. So in my case I would have a win10.img in my kvm_storage. Step 4: Finish the initial setupĪfter you’ve finished your storage volume you can give name to the new virtual machine. Select Customize configuration before install, because we need to tweak a few other things, before we start the installation process. If you selected the Customize configuration before install option in the last step, the customization window should have opened automatically.
Step 6: Make sure the windows img is mounted If, for whatever reason, this isn’t the case, you can open the customization windows by double clicking the vms name in the Virtual Machine Manager and click on the info button - 2nd top left icon. Sometimes the Windows img you’ve selected in the initial setup isn’t correctly connected. Make sure, that it is connected in IDECDROM 1. If not, connect it by clicking connect and set the image location to the according windows 10. We’ll use the VirtIO storage and network windows drivers later. We need them while installing windows, thus we need to mount them via a ISO file. First of all get the VirtIO drivers ISO direct_link_stable Fedora Documentation, other versions.
