I have moved my Windows 10 VM from VirtualBox to Proxmox by converting .vdi disks in my Hypervisr shell. The machine boots properly, but there is not any Network Adapter visible, so I am not able to access Internet from the VM. I can only access it from console. I don't know what type of Adapter it had had before, because the old hypervisor does not exist anymore. Is there a way to add a new adapter or install drivers without Internet access? Or maybe there are other options?

Also tried adding different models of Network Device in machine hardware, but it did not help either.

hi,

did you install virtio drivers? [0] [1]
you can try that and see if it solves your issue.

if it doesn't work, please post the VM configuration qm config VMID and your PVE version pveversion -v here

I added ISO from link [0] as CD/DVD drive, but it is not visible in my VM for some reason...

My vm config:
boot: order=ide0 cores: 8 ide0: local-zfs:vm-35004-disk-0,size=80G ide1: local-zfs:vm-35004-disk-1,size=300G ide2: local:iso/virtio-win-0.1.185.iso,media=cdrom,size=402812K memory: 16384 name: JenkinsSlave02 net0: e1000=08:62:66:a2:42:a1,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,tag=3 numa: 0 ostype: win10 scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci smbios1: uuid=4e4bc0a1-242d-4dcd-b839-13a0de567657 sockets: 1 vmgenid: c941b88e-20a0-4146-83f8-d75230e4bdc7
