Windows 11 Installation Guide

To install Windows 11, you have to:

  1. Go to the Microsoft web and download the iso file of Windows 11 version 64 bits in the language you prefer.
  2. Download the latest stable version of the virtio drivers

Pre Installation

  1. Create a desktop of the uploaded media with the following Hardware:

    Recommended

    • Viewers: SPICE/VNC
    • vCPUS: 4
    • Memory (GB): 6
    • Videos: Default
    • Boot: CD/DVD
    • Disk Bus: Default
    • Disk Size (GB): 140
    • Networks: Default
    • Template: Microsoft windows 10 with Virtio devices UEFI
  2. Edit the desktop and add the following media:

    • Win11_22H2_EN (installer)
    • virtio-win-X (drivers)
    • Optimization Tools (optimization software for Windows O.S.)

Important

If you want to have a network during the installation process, you have to select the network "Intel1000"

XML Edition

It's important to edit the xml of the desktop or else the installation will not work. To be able to edit the xml, you have to have a "manager" or "admin" role

OS

In the "os" section within the xml you have to modify and change from "pc-i440fx-2.8" to "q35" and add some elements:

<os>
    <boot dev="hd"/>
    <type arch="x86_64" machine="q35">hvm</type>
    <loader readonly="yes" secure="no" type="pflash">/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>
</os>

Hyperv

In the section you have to have this since Windows 11 recommends it for better performance:

<hyperv>
    <relaxed state="on"/>
    <vapic state="on"/>
    <spinlocks state="on" retries="8191"/>
    <synic state="on"/>
    <stimer state="on"/>
    <vpindex state="on"/>
    <tlbflush state="on"/>
    <ipi state="on"/>
</hyperv>

TMP

It is a requirement of Windows 11 and must be added:

<tpm model="tpm-tis">
    <backend type="emulator" version="2.0"/>
</tpm>

Audio

We force the audio to come out through Spice with this:

<sound model="ich9">
    <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x1b" function="0x0"/>
</sound>
<audio id="1" type="spice"/>

Channel

<channel type="spicevmc">
    <target type="virtio" name="com.redhat.spice.0"/>
    <address type="virtio-serial" controller="0" bus="0" port="1"/>
</channel>

Installation

Windows 11

We open the desktop with Spice or VNC browser viewer:

Viewers

  • If Spice is chosen, when this screen appears, go to "Send key" and press Ctrl+Alt+Del
  • If VNC browser is chosen, press the button on the top right "Send Ctrl+Alt+Del "

When the button is pressed, this message will appear:

At that moment, press any key within the console, for example Enter and force the windows 11 installer to start.

The efi boot appears and the windows installer loads:

  1. Type of installation

  2. Load operating system drivers

System

  3. Select the following options, the screen may not resize well at this time and you will have to move the content up or down (scroll)

  4. Turn off the desktop, remove the Windows 11 installation image and leave this media:

    • virtio-win-x (controllers)
    • Optimization Tools (optimization program for Windows O.S.)

Configuration

Update and install

  1. Install the two virtio drivers from the desktop media (virtio-win-x).

  2. Check if there are system updates and downloaded to keep up with the latest version.

  3. Install the following programs and save their installers in a new folder that we will name admin in the path C:\admin

User admin and privilege changes

Open a Powershell with administrator privilege:

  1. Create an admin user in the Administrators group

    $Password = Read-Host -AsSecureString
    New-LocalUser "admin" -Password $Password -FullName "admin"
    Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrator" -Member "admin"
    

  2. Create an user user in the Users group

    New-LocalUser "user" -Password $Password -FullName "user"
    Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Standard User" -Member "user"

    Important Information

    Uninstalling these programs leads to faster Windows and more space. It is important to note that the Microsoft Store will also be removed. If you do not want to delete it, you have to ignore the command:

    Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.WindowsStore | Remove-AppxPackage -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
