quickget
can download Windows 10 and Windows 11 automatically and create an optimised virtual machine configuration.
This configuration also includes the VirtIO drivers for Windows.
quickget
can also download Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022.
NOTE! Windows Server does not have automated installation and does not automatically configure VirtIO as it uses emulated IDE disks and Intel E1000 network devices instead.
quickget windows 11
quickemu --vm windows-11.conf
- Complete the installation as you normally would.
- All relevant drivers and services should be installed automatically.
- A local administrator user account is automatically created, with
