After installing QEMU and putting the Windows 10 iso file in the same directory as where I downloaded QEMU, I ran these commands:

qemu-img.exe create -f qcow2 -o cluster_size=2M win10.qcow2 50G

qemu-system-x86_64.exe -boot d -cdrom win10.iso -m 2048 win10.qcow2

After saying "loading...", it told me "Why did my PC restart?". https://i.sstatic.net/2QDrS.png

After clicking on "next", it did the same thing again; brought me to the "why did my pc restart?" page. How do I make it install Windows 10?

I have virtualization turned on in the BIOS.

  • What is the exact make and model of your CPU? You may have configured the VM in a way that is incompatible with Windows 10.

  • If add this information to your question, it’s better readable. The CPU is quite new, so that can’t be the problem. Were did you obtain the Windows binaries for QEMU? What about the Windows 10 ISO? Do you know for which Windows it is? I’ll try to reproduce.
