You should run the following from a mountpoint with a lot of disk space (at least 20GiB, 50GiB if you plan to use the development environment):
make -f /path/to/qemuie/Makefile msedge
This will drop you onto the QEMU monitor.
In another terminal use the following to get a terminal:
make -f /path/to/qemuie/Makefile spice
You should open 'Device Manager' and 'Update Driver' by telling Windows to recurse into the directories of starting at D:\
for all unknown devices as well as the 'Display adapter'.
N.B. for Windows 10 you should 'Pause updates' otherwise the guest will spend its time spinning the CPU at 100% whilst downloading updates for a VM destined for destruction.
You should also download and install the Windows Guest Tools (you can call make spice-guest-tools-latest.exe
to do this for you).
Other available targets can be found with all
like so:
make -f /path/to/qemuie/Makefile
VMs:
