[I wish people wouldn't top-post, but anyway ...] I'm interested in switching to Q35 but it isn't entirely trivial. Simply editing the machine-type line in the XML file doesn't do it: If I change: <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-3.0'>hvm</type> to: <type arch='x86_64' machine='Q35'>hvm</type> I get: Error: unsupported configuration: IDE controllers are unsupported for this QEMU binary or machine type I created the VM using Virtual Machine Manager under Fedora over a year ago, so most of the settings were defaults at the time. Is there a Dummy's Guide to changing this, or would it be easier to just create a new VM (keeping the existing storage of course)? The man pages are pretty unhelpful. For completeness I attach the full XML file. poc
