I have a Windows 11 guest, with the main hard drive as a sata drive. I would like to change this over to a scsi drive. When I attempt to change it to a SCSI or VirtIO Block I get a blue screen when booting the VM.
I have followed the instructions here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Paravirtualized_Block_Drivers_for_Windows (also a similar topic here: https://www.caretech.io/2017/10/18/...d-disk-interface-to-virtio-with-proxmox-ve-5/)
Which basically say to add a temporary drive, install some drivers from VirtIO and then you should be good to go. When I add the temporary drive, the disk is already recognized in disk management, and I can already initialize the disk, create a volume and format it, without installing any additional drivers.
I can additionally add a secondary hard drive using "SCSI" and the VM continues to boot just fine; however when I attempt to change the primary disk over to "SCSI" it never boots and I get a windows blue screen error before it reaches the welcome screen.
