I imported a Win7 VM via ofv-image.
I changed scsi to ide in conf file.

Wndows hangs at startup screen.
How can I find out whats missing?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,

I think that before create the Win7 VM image you need to install virtio drivers(scsi virtio, nic virtio, and so on)
 
Hi, where do I need to install these drivers ? On Proxmox host or in Windows VM?
 
hi,

can you please post your vm config (qm config VMID) ?
 
Code: 
bootdisk: sata0
cores: 4
memory: 4096
name: pc.qpl.at-20200818
sata0: WDHD:220/vm-220-disk-0.raw
smbios1: uuid=f455435a-f313-4f8d-87bf-c7777dc1345b
vmgenid: 7b1dff97-98ce-42f4-9d8d-39f7705e8664

I tried to install virtio before export from esx but there is no virtio driver for win 7.

In the meantime I upgraded the win7 vm to win10, installed the virtio driver, exported and imported it sucessfully in proxmox.
Do you know where I can get a virtio for win 7 ?

Regards
