How to Create a Windows Virtual Machine in Linux With KVM
Setting up a Windows virtual machine in Linux with KVM is better than dual-booting. Here’s how to get started.
Links:
Windows 10 (Free) – https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10
Commands:
grep -Ec ‘(vmx|svm)’ /proc/cpuinfo
sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon bridge-utils virt-manager
sudo pacman -S qemu libvirt bridge-utils virt-manager
sudo dnf install @Virtualization
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
sudo systemctl status libvirtd
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $(whoami)
sudo usermod -aG kvm $(whoami)
