August 5, 20169 yr I have installed Win10 many times on 6.1.9, but this is the first time on 6.2rc3. First difference is that it will not start the install without going into the UEFI bios without pressing a key to get it going. Not a big deal.... Normally I leave it set to defaults of i440x2.5 OVMF, 2G ram and let it create a 30G vdisk and let it go. Using virtio-win-0.1.102 and 1511 version of Win10, you add the 4 Win8.1 64bit virtio drivers for balloon, netkvm, vioser and viostor, and get presented by a 30G place to install. Today on 6.2rc3 I get the 4 virtio drivers installed and then Windows tries to install on the 30GB drive. It fails with a We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose. Please check your media drive Here is more info about what happened 0x80300002 My cache drive is 120gb SSD with 2 Linux VM's in addition to this new Windows VM.
August 5, 20169 yr Author 2G of RAM is a little bit too little. Trying giving it more. Same thing with 4gb, (agree about 2G)
August 6, 20169 yr Author Yes, I tried a Win7 iso as well, but no other Win10 iso. This Win10 iso as well as the Virtio works fine with 6.1.9 I suppose it could be corruption, when I copied it to another server. But the error seems to point to the destination of the installation, rather than the ISO files. Not sure, I but wondered if there was something different with 6.2rc3 causing the issues.
August 6, 20169 yr Have you tried a newer virtio? I used 113 recently to setup a 32bit Windows 10 VM (runs in 1.5GB ram), and a Server 2016 VM. Settings for Windows 10 attached if it helps. Latest virtio-win iso: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/latest-virtio/virtio-win.iso Also this post is helpful spelling out the steps to load the virtio drivers (if you need any tips): https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=41652.msg399892#msg399892
August 6, 20169 yr I now recall that I had problems with the older virtio, and that 113 (current at the time) had specific Win10 drivers included.
August 9, 20169 yr Author Yeah, .118 virtio drivers made it work. It now has Windows 10 specific drivers so we no longer have to use 8.1 drivers. The stable drivers .102 are not stable.
