can not install windows10 whith virtio

[inomaratadeath]

I tried to install Windows 10 ent with virtio driver on hdd and network, but encountered a problem: the installer does not pick up the latest drivers from loosely.
I tried to choose virtio driver for win7/win8/win8.1/win10.

translated using google translaitor.

You need point to the RIGHT driver dir:

e.g. for virtio disk on win10 you need to go to:

> viostor/w10/amd64

for virtio scsi:

> vioscsi/w10/scsi

so it did, all the screenshots shown. No driver picks up - and that's it.

no, you screenshots shows the VIRTIO Balloon device, no storage disk device.

d:\viostore\w10\amd64\viostore.inf

See screenshots carelessly?

I cannot read your language, but your screenshots shows also Balloon device.

But anyways.

If you choose the right drivers from latest 0.126 virtio driver disk, all should work.

Make sure that you window ISO is OK, some users reportet corrupted ISOs and had similar problems.

Where?? Path "d:\viostore\w10\amd64\viostore.inf" points to driver, and about which you wrote in your first post, how do you see there also Balloon device???
I saw that video early and whith windows7 instalation no have any problem. Problem only whith windows10.

And i use it 126 version of the driver.

Try record video and attach the link here later

1. please post your VM config, so we can see what driver do you need.

> qm config VMID

2. which windows ISO do you use exactly?

1.# qm config VMID
unknown command: 'qm'
2. WIN_ENT_10_1511.1_64BIT_Russian_MLF

you video shows that you use 4.1 - this is quite outdated. upgrade to 4.4 and try again.

I do not understand your language but it looks you are doing it the right way. try again after the upgrade.

see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downlo...Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_4.x_to_latest_4.4

 

[inomaratadeath]

with the upgrade will have to wait - after the latest upgrade from 3 to 4 dropped network. Barely I raised it, but it works strange - requires 2 network cables. On the first wire virtual machines have access to the external network, the second wire can reach proxmox web interface.

I have a special made Windows 10 Enterprise ISO that has MDT installation. I can't use Virtio. I used SATA and it is installing now.
Will see if this will work.

In video You used virtio drivers v. 0.1.1. Last stable version 0.1.126. Try it.

 

[Coneng]

I am a different person.
If the image is no a typical windows one there is no choice during installation to install virtio driver. I had to choose a SATA drive when I create the VM to work. Why Proxmox don't encourage using sata?

Oops! Sorry!

I tested it. Look this pictures please:





This works!

This works if you have a Microsoft windows image. I have a special enterprise ISO that I can't install drivers during installation. I used SATA instead of virtio

Ok. If this Windows installed on sata-disk and works,
stop VM and add another disk (virtio, not sata) into VM, boot Windows and install virtio drivers for new disk.
If this happens, then you can stop VM and change the type of the first disk via Remove first disk in Hardware tab
(this action not really delete disk, it will remain there as Unused disk and data on the disk will not be lost)
and add it again via double click on it, but as virtio . After successful booting Windows You may delete second disk.
(second disk was needed for install the virtio driver only)

Just had to drop in to say that I also had to use this method today. I've never had any problems like this before so I was a bit stumped at first. Found this old thread and is still was the solution! I'm on PVE 7.0-13 and I tried to install W10 Enterprise from an official source.
