I don't have any answers, but a data point that might be useful. I've installed windows HVMs on Qubes 3.2 on both Lenovo T460 and x260 recently, and had no issues. The x250 should be similar. One variable I see is that you have a storage pool whereas mine both had a single drive. Don't know if that makes a difference. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
