hi - i was trying to set up a virtual windows machine, but keep getting an error message. i think my ultimate issue is that i have secure boot turned on. but i’d like to keep from doing that. here’s the error message:
you might need to check settings that secureboot compability is correct, then might need to add GUEST drivers/mode and VirtIO drivers and even passthrough disk to get more responssive performance, but i recommend check boot settings on VM that it is actually setup correctly since windows 11 needs secureboot even on VM if i remember correctly W10 is way easier to setup
virt-manager is best option as mentioned
" you should switch everything (disk, network, display) to virtio and insert the driver ISO while installing Windows. Afterwards, run the included installer to install the other drivers."
“create a EFI vm with Secure-Boot and TPM Emulation.”
tried installing the virtio repo with the command shown in the link you provided, but i got a message stating i didn’t have permission. am i missing something?
thanks for the info disabling secure boot definitely helped. but now running into an issue in getting the ISO and can’t get the virtio repo - permission denied
i was able to get virtualbox up and going. i had to use an ISO file from microsoft for it to work, however. i also got it working in Boxes on GNOME, but with limited functionality. i will work more with the information given to get things going on Linux, as that would be ideal. appreciate all the input
