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.
