Yes, since the there is no way to make qemu-xhci work on Windows 7, i have to change to nec-xhci. It mostly works(usb redirection by spice) after i installed the nec usb3.0 controller driver, except "Eject USB storage" And actually it will become on response only if i cliked "Eject" on the windows right corner. it works if i Eject USB storage from the File Explorer. > If it is, you can try creating a new VM and attach the existing disk to it. > (So you won't have to reinstall Win7 again.)
