I installed the 'ovmf' package for my distro (Manjaro), and added this line into the virtual machine's XML config file, in the 'os' section: /usr/share/ovmf/圆4/OVMF_CODE.fd

Then I created a virtual machine under virt-manager, importing all four of the qcow2 drives. What I tried was to export each of the above partitions as a qcow2 image, with a command like this: $ qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 /dev/nvme0n1p1 win10_part1.qcow2Īnd repeated for all four partitions. Since it was setup as UEFI, it seems there are some extra steps needed to virtualize, as libvirt doesn't appear to support UEFI out of the box.

I'd like to get away from dual-booting, and run my Windows 10 installation virtualized under KVM+libvirt+qemu. There are a few things for which I still need Windows, and I am currently dual-booting, with Windows and Linux on separate physical disks. I am migrating my PC from Windows 10 to Linux.
