1. Proxmox Virtio Drivers Windows 10
2. Proxmox Virtio Drivers Windows 2008 R2

This is a set of best practices to follow when installing a Windows 2003 guest on a Proxmox VE server. The latest VirtIO iso do not include drivers for Windows. This guide will help manually add VirtIO drivers to Windows ISO's so that the drivers are automatically installed and available to a Windows VM on Proxmox. This way the VirtIO ISO will not need to be attached to a virtual machine on Proxmox and there will be no need to manually load the drivers 1-by-1 in Windows Setup at install time. Windows should detect and install the “VirtIO Balloon Driver”. You can remove the virtio-win CD (or the CD/DVD Device) in the VM’s Hardware tab on the Proxmox GUI. Bear in mind that you can remove the ISO immediately. Removing the device requires you to shutdown the VM.

In order to improve disk performance, special paravirtualized block drivers can be installed in Windows guests. You have to download and install those drivers in the VM, as Windows does not provides them by default. Click Install to allow driver installation to proceed. In the screenshot above, Windows is installing the VirtIO Balloon Driver. This is a driver that allows Windows to report the correct amount of RAM being used to Proxmox; without it, the percentage of VM RAM being used as shown in the Proxmox dashboard’s machine summary can be very inaccurate. Installation of paravirtualized driver within Windows The Windows device manager should now detect a new network device. Just point the driver wizard to the CD-ROM containing the drivers. The drivers are not signed, choose install anyway and you are done.

Introduction

This is a set of best practices to follow when installing a Windows 10 guest on a Proxmox VE server 6.x. Right now it's a work in progress.

Install

Prepare

To obtain a good level of performance, we will install the Windows VirtIO Drivers during the Windows installation.

• Create a new VM, select 'Microsoft Windows 10/2016/2019' as Guest OS and enable the 'Qemu Agent' in the System tab. Continue and mount your Windows 10 ISO in the CDROM drive
• For your virtual hard disk select 'SCSI' as bus with 'VirtIO SCSI' as controller. Set 'Write back' as cache option for best performance (the 'No cache' default is safer, but slower) and tick 'Discard' to optimally use disk space (TRIM).
• Configure your memory settings as needed, continue and set 'VirtIO (paravirtualized)' as network device, finish your VM creation.
• For the VirtIO drivers, upload the driver ISO (use the stable VirtIO ISO, get it from here) to your storage, create a new CDROM drive (use 'Add -> CD/DVD drive' in the hardware tab) with Bus 'IDE' and number 3. Load the Virtio Drivers ISO in the new virtual CDROM drive.
• Now your ready to start the VM, just follow the Windows installer.

Launch Windows install

• After starting your VM launch the noVNC console
• Follow the installer steps until you reach the installation type selection where you need to select 'Custom (advanced)'
• Now click 'Load driver' to install the VirtIO drivers for hard disk and the network.
  • Hard disk: Browse to the CD drive where you mounted the VirtIO driver and select folder 'vioscsiw10amd64' and confirm. Select the 'Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller' and click next to install it. Now you should see your drive.
  • Network: Repeat the steps from above (click again 'Load driver', etc.) and select the folder 'NetKVMw10amd64', confirm it and select 'Redhat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter' and click next.
  • Memory Ballooning: Again, repeat the steps but this time select the 'Balloonw10amd64' folder, then the 'VirtIO Balloon Driver' and install it by clicking next. With these three drivers you should be good covered to run a fast virtualized Windows 10 system.
• Choose the drive and continue the Windows installer steps.

HINT: There is a video showing the process for a Windows Server 2016 installation which is the same as for Windows 10.

Install Guest Agent and Services

Guest Agent

If you enabled the Qemu Agent option for the VM the mouse pointer will probably be off after the first boot.

To remedy this install the 'Qemu Guest Agent'. The installer is located on the driver CD under guest-agentqemu-ga-x86_64.msi.

Proxmox Virtio Drivers Windows 10

Drivers and Services

The easiest way to install missing drivers and services is to use the provided MSI installer. It is available on the driver CD since version 'virtio-win-0.1.173-2'.

Run the 'virtio-win-gt-x64.msi' file located directly on the CD. If you do not plan to use SPICE you can deselect the 'Qxl' and 'Spice' features. /jmicron-card-reader-driver-windows-10.html. Restart the VM after the installer is done.

After all this the RAM usage and IP configuration should be shown correctly in the summary page of the VM.

For more information and configuration about ballooning, see Dynamic Memory Management

Check for missing drivers

See also: Paravirtualized Block Drivers for Windows

Go to the Device Manager to see if there are any drivers missing.For any unknown device:

• Right click an select 'Update driver'.
• Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'.
• Select the Driver CD. Make sure that 'Include subfolders' is checked.
• Once a driver has been found you might be prompted with a security warning asking if you 'Would like to install this device software'. Click 'Install'.

Further information

Disk-Image Format: raw vs qcow2

Raw file format provides slightly better performance while qcow2 offers advanced features such as copy on write and Live_Snapshots.Since V2.3, qcow2 is the default format.
