The windows installation stalled on "Starting Windows" I heard this happens.
So this is what I found is the solution:
Hi,
You must copy your config in
cp /var/lib/qubes/appvms/windows7/windows7.conf ~/
Then at the bottom change graphic driver xen by cirrus
vim ~/windows7.conf
-> change xen by cirrus at the bottom
Start the vm and install with
qvm-start windows7 --custom-config=~/windows7.conf
What does that mean?
