Changing VM disk bus from sata to virtio

[nmills3]

I heard that vertio was better for performance and i'm trying to change my VM from a sata bus to vertio but every time i try, it just ends up in windows startup recovery mode

That's because windows has no virtio driver installed and this results in an unbootable disk.
