GitHub user NuxRo added a comment to the discussion: Best approach to installing Windows 20xx VM on Cloudstack with KVM hypervisors based on EL8.8
Use the "Windows PV" profile, it will give you the best performance as it presents virtio devices. when you get to the disk and drivers section, detach the Widows ISO in Cloudstack and attach the virtio-win.iso, load the appropriate drivers. Then detach virtio-win.iso and attach the Windows.iso again. After the installation has succeeded, attach virtio-win again and run the setup.exe or whatever it is called so it will install all the other virtio drivers as well (for network, display etc). For Windows it is recommended to set video ram to 32MB or more and set the video card to QXL, this is done from the VM settings (with the VM shut down). This can also be set in the template settings and will be inherited by all the instances.
