Instead try use the graphical tool, it should work. Do the qvm-create etc. first to make the HVM, then afterwards go to the Qube-menu and select the new Qube menu you just made, open VM-Settings for this VM, and click "Advanced". Here click on the "Boot qube from CDROM". Which despite it's name, works for USB, local files, local files in another VM, and of course an actual CD-Rom drive as well. If it doesn't work, then at least you made sure you didn't misstype anything. Also yes, Windows 10 should technically work in Qubes, you just won't get Qubes supported tools, such as text and file sharing between Win10 and the rest of Qubes system, no easy internet setup, graphic/screen Qubes driver, and so forth. Basically, it should run, but it might not run optimal. You may be able to passthrough some USB devices, or iso files, but otherwise, it'll be completely isolated in its own little world. Unlike Windows 7, which can properly communicate with Qubes. Basically Windows 10 will theoretically appear like Windows 7, just without the Qubes-Windows-Tools installed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
