Windows 10 VM virt-io doesn't work. VM installation failed (SOLVED)

[LTech]

Hello, I tried my best to install a Windows 10 VM for the first time and failed several times. I used this tutorial inclusive the Video and some others but nothing worked.

Win 10 installer started without a problem, but I am unable to select a drive / load the virtio drivers from drive E:

Here is my setup, I deleted everything and tried starting from scratch. Hopefully someone can help me.

 

 

After this setup I started the VM.

Now I'm in the VM via VNC

 

 

 

Now I go to "Treiber laden" - load drivers

 

After I press "OK" I go to "Durchsuchen"

There is the E: Drive which should be the virtio drive, but there is nothing.

Mabey, it is just a stupid mistake. Hopefully someone can help me.

By the way, when I am trying to install the community plugins, I get a Network Error.

Maybe also because Facebook and all their Services are down?

Try a different virtio version. Maybe something is wrong with your ISO file.

I also tried the 189 version. Same result. I will remove them and try again.

I removed and redownloaded it again. Now the Win 10 installation works, but after I restarted the server I only get a virbr0 Network Interface and no br0.

Have you enabled bridging under Settings -> Network settings?  This is required to have br0 available  

[LTech]

Yes I have

Not sure what is your problem then?  I do not have bonding enabled (not sure if that is relevant) and after the line to enable bridging I get one that reads:

Bridging members of br0:

that you do not seem to have.

 

If you cannot spot the problem then I suggest that you are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your systems diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post.

br0 works now. Just braking your network so that you can not access Unraid via WebGui. Go to your Server, use your root Terminal, delete the network configs and reboot. Now it is working. 😅👍
