This installation method focuses on optimizing Windows installation in terms of responsiveness and performance on QEMU/KVM via the front-end GUI called virt-manager.
Hmmh. I mean I mostly play old games and they tend to work better in Wine/Proton anyway, so I don’t have a virtualized Windows. I ran into some annoyances with other operating systems though, since most mundane desktop environments do lavish graphics these days. Or I’d randomly watch a Youtube video in a guest system and that’d use a lot of CPU with a recent codec and full HD or more… I guess all of this really depends on what people do with their virtualized machines, though.
The comment I’m replying to mentioned other OSs and non gaming functions. For those purposes Virtio requires almost no configuration to work with acceleration and works more than well enough.
That said, vietio drivers do in fact exist for windows.

Virtio works jisy fine.
how did you configure it? iirc vgpus in Linux are pretty bad, virgl is pretty good but it doesn’t have a guest driver for windows
