I am not sure you can do it at all, because Windows (then again, I am hardly a 
Windows expert).

How I would do it on a standalone libvirt/KVM running Windows on "IDE" drives, 
is to add a secondary volume/disk of type VirtIO, Windows will ask for drivers 
which I would provide, then power off the VM, change the main disk's type from 
IDE to VirtIO and Windows will boot it.

I do not see how you can do that in ACS. If you find a "live" method of 
injecting VirtIO drivers in Windows so that they are available for future 
devices, let me know, I am curious.
