Now we can go ahead and use UTM to create a virtual machine with which we will install Windows 10. It is recommended you do this with a fresh VHDX from Microsoft in case your image was already corrupted. We can now use the QCOW2 image when creating the virtual machine below. You can put them elsewhere if you prefer, but be sure to replace ~/UTM_VM with your own path to the file.Īlso, you may need to rename the Windows file (for example, replace 21354 with the applicable number on your file). In my case, I’d placed both the Windows file and the SPICE guest tools into a folder called ~/UTM_VM. With QEMU now installed, run the following to convert the VHDX file to QCOW2: qemu-img convert -p -O qcow2 ~/UTM_VM/Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_21354.VHDX ~/UTM_VM/Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_21354.qcow2 If you get an error that reads “Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix”, your Homebrew might not be configured for your M1 Mac. With Homebrew installed, open a Terminal window and run the following: brew install qemu You can install it with the command on the Homebrew website. The following steps require that Homebrew is installed. To prevent this, we’re advised to convert the VHDX file to a QCOW2 file, as follows. Convert the VHDX Image to a QCOW2 ImageĪccording to the UTM documentation, sometimes the QEMU handling of VHDX images will result in Windows becoming corrupted. We will use this later, when we install Windows. OPEN VM FOR MAC DRIVERS
