November 28, 20223 yr Hi all, I am trying to install a Windows 11 VM on my new unraid server, it has an i5 12500, ASRock Z790 Pro RS/D4, ATX, S1700 and 32Gb DDR4 ram. There is a dedicated 1tb nvme drive for the windows vm and the drive gets detected after the virtio drivers are loaded. The ISO file is in the protected isos share, i have redownloaded this file 3-4 times. When creating the VM nothing weird happens but when the windows installation begins, after 10% i get an error about necessary files cant be installed and the installation is halted. I have tried i440 and Q35 bios and different versions, also tried SATA, IDE and SCSI. I tried different locations for the vdisk. I tried a windows10 iso. None of the above works. HVM and IOMMU is enabled, i do boot in UEFI mode. Any idea what the problem could be? Rgds, Martijn settings.pdf

I decided to make the USB drive non UEFI and now Windows 11 was installed, weird.... Only problem now is that i need network to finish the installation.

You can bypass it easily https://pureinfotech.com/bypass-internet-connection-install-windows-11/#:~:text=a second layout.-,On the “Oops%2C you've lost internet connection”,Windows 11 and press Enter.
