|

|
The Windows VM creation script automates the process of setting up virtual machines optimized for running
|
||||||
|
Windows operating systems. The script handles all aspects of VM configuration, including hardware allocation,
|
||||||
|
disk setup, and boot options.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p className="mb-4">The script simplifies the VM creation process by offering the following options:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
|
||||||
|
<li>Selection of default or advanced configuration</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Configuration of CPU, RAM, BIOS, and machine type</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Choice between virtual disk or physical disk passthrough</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Selection of disk interface type (SCSI, SATA, VirtIO, or IDE)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Automatic configuration of EFI and TPM for secure boot</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Automatic VirtIO drivers setup for optimal performance</li>

For optimal performance, Windows VMs require VirtIO drivers. The script automatically handles this by:
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 space-y-2">
|
||||||
|
<li>Downloading the latest VirtIO drivers ISO or using an existing one</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Mounting the VirtIO drivers ISO to the VM</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Providing instructions for loading the drivers during Windows installation</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p className="mt-4">
|
||||||
|
If you select a <strong>SCSI</strong> or <strong>VirtIO</strong> disk interface for the virtual machine,
|
||||||
|
Windows installation will not detect the disk by default. In this case, you must click <em>"Load Driver"</em> during the disk selection
|
||||||
|
step and browse to the mounted VirtIO ISO to install the necessary storage drivers.
|
||||||
|
<br />
|
||||||
|
These interfaces offer significantly better performance compared to traditional <strong>SATA</strong> disks,
|
||||||
|
and are therefore recommended for optimal disk I/O.

If you select <strong>VirtIO</strong> as the <strong>network interface</strong> (recommended for performance),
|
||||||
|
you must also install the VirtIO network drivers from the same ISO. This ensures that the Windows installer can access
|
||||||
|
the network to complete updates or activate the system.

Without the VirtIO network driver, the virtual machine will not have internet access during installation,

Step 1: Access the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen

</h3>
|

<p className="mb-3">
|
||||||
|
During Windows installation, if no disks are shown on the “Where do you want to install Windows?” screen, it means the required storage drivers for your selected disk interface (such as SCSI or VirtIO) are not available. You'll need to load them manually.

On the mounted VirtIO ISO, navigate to the appropriate driver folder that matches your selected disk interface and Windows version.
|

|
For example, the <code className="bg-gray-100 px-1 py-0.5 rounded">viostor</code> folder contains storage drivers, and you'll find subfolders organized by version (e.g., Windows 10, 11, Server).

<strong>Pro Tip:</strong> If you selected <strong>VirtIO</strong> as the network interface, Windows will not recognize it by default.

After the Windows installation is complete, it's recommended to install the remaining VirtIO drivers for full hardware support and optimal performance.

To do this, open the mounted VirtIO ISO in File Explorer and run the installer named{" "}
