Hello, I am trying to virtualize Win10 pro on a new machine I just finished building, and I eventually want to pass through my gfx card and have it be my main gaming vm.

 

I currently cannot get the installer to load. It always shows me the EFI bios shell if I don't start the installer, and if I do run the installer I get a Windows boot configuration error screen that kicks me back to the EFI shell. Running the EFI boot image in the shell only continues this loop.

 

This happens regardless of my hardware settings, if I pass through the gfx card or use VNC. I remake the VM every time it fails trying to tweak what I have installed and it refuses to boot the installer every time.

 

This is the error screen I see when booting the install media: http://i.imgur.com/d1ZpKL1.png

 

I am using the latest Unraid 6.2 Beta, the 118 VirtIO driver iso, and the latest Win10 iso available from windows, freshly downloaded yesterday.

 

My hardware:

 

Asus Z10PE D8 WS

2x Xeon E5-2590-v4

1x Nvidia GTX 720 (for unraid)

1x Nvidia GTX 980

4x 3TB WD Red HDDs

1x Samsung 850 Pro 512GB

1x Samsung 830 256GB

I just upgraded to W10 and after a successful upgrade I shut down, and re-pinned CPU's. Reboot and no joy. Just keeps cycling boot ups without ever getting to Windows.

 

I am going to post separately because it might be a different problem, or it could be the same one....
