Windows

This example creates a Windows 11 x86_64 VM in Incus.

Using existing ISOs

This variant expects you to provide existing Windows 11 and VirtIO ISOs on the host.

Source file: windows.yaml

Edit the WINDOWS_ISO and VIRTIO_ISO paths in the YAML file, then run:

incus-apply windows.yaml

Downloading ISOs

This variant automatically downloads both the Windows 11 ISO and the VirtIO drivers ISO to the host /tmp directory. The Windows VM is then created with both ISOs attached as CD-ROM devices.
