Here are my hardware settings:


and here are my options:

You could also try to remove the mapping to virtio and add Windows as ide0. You can swap Windows ISO with Virtio at the appropriate time during the installation. Don't forget to swap it back to finish.

That mounted "win.iso" is 762MB in size. Microsoft states it should be 4700 MB or so. Compare: https://www.buildsometech.com/how-big-is-windows-10/#How_Big_is_Windows_10_Download_ISO_File

Good luck
