Guest UEFI enable

I am pretty sure this is brand new stuff in KVM. I highly doubt its going to work in proxmox.

It's working fine (at least for the linux distributions I tried).
Download the precompiled OVMF package from http://www.tianocore.org/ovmf/ and unzip it (assuming your VMID is 7012) in your VM folder such that you have
root@proxmox4 /var/lib/vz/images/7012 > ls -l /var/lib/vz/images/7012/

Then add the following line to /etc/pve/qemu-server/7012.conf
args: -bios /var/lib/vz/images/7012/OVMF.fd
Then boot up the machine and enjoy UEFI. As I stated earlier, it may not be working for other environments than linux, you have to try.

HI,
I am trying to enable UEFI BIOS for my Win10 VM to passthrough the nvidia GTX 1050 Ti GPU. Where can i download the precompiled ovmf package & how to install them. Please help me, I can't able to understand your steps. Doing this testing on PVE 3.4
Hi, Thanks for your quick reply.
I am intrested to test on PVE 3.4 before going to 5.3. If I know the complexity in 3.4 , I can feel the real advantage of it in 5.3. Also I want to understand how to do this configuration in CLI. Could you please help me out.
WHY?
Your graphics card is many years newer than your operating system, just upgrade to the newest version.
Not even the official support will help you with such an old system. Both PVE 3.x and PVE 4.x are already End-of-line (EOL) for at least half a year: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-ve-support-lifecycle.35755/
all my current servers are running on PVE3.4, suddenly I can't upgrade to 5.3 now. For testing purpose Please share me the ovmf package & steps to enable UEFI for my win10 VM.
Hopefully, you're not storing EU residential information inside of any VM on your old PVE 3.4 server or you're in violation of GDPR Art. 5 lit. f
