Windows 7 wont install on PVE 7.1

[heldmar]

Hi, I am recently starting my career at Proxmox, and I have set up a Linux VM and a couple of Ubuntu CT on my (very modest) homelab. I was then trying to set up a Windows 7 VM, I read official guide for this and read also several articles out there and I can't make it work, even following all directions. It doesn't matter what I do, it always get stuck during the installation process.

I am setting up a 4GB RAM, VirtIO SCSI hard drive with 100GB and it stays stuck on Windows installation screen all the time






Not sure what can I be doing wrong, but again, I have set up all things as indicated by the guide. Is there anything am I missing?

Should work.

Please check your Windows ISO on your datastore (check sha256sum), maybe the ISO is corrupted somewhere.

In the end worked, I have no idea why it failed before. It took a while to pass the "Loading" screen at the beginning, and after that it installed. The only thing I can think is that at the same time I had another VM using 100% of the CPU and therefore this one had low resources to perform the installation, however, in the end it worked out.

Thanks.
