By default, Windows doesn't allow to create soft links for user account and
only administrator is allowed to do this. To fix this problem you have to raise
your permissions or enable Developer Mode, which available since Windows 10.

on his computer faster.

Please avoid such white space damage. QEMU coding style is to use only one
