Thanks for the recommendation.

A long time ago that I don't read about VirtIO drivers for Windows. The
last time I did, they were experimental.

I just do a little research and found this page [1] of the KVM project.
Do you mean to one of the ISOS published here [1]?

These ISOs have drivers for any version of Windows and any architecture
(32 and 64 bit)?


Thanks again for your time.


Kind regards,
Daniel
