>From what you describe, I would surmise that the main problem is that
you use BIOS instead of UEFI to boot your Windows image: if it is not
already installed, install the ovmf package and invoke KVM with the
needed parameters.
There is an ovmf page in the Ubuntu wiki:
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/OVMF

Disclaimer: I have never imported Windows pre-existing images and I do
not use QEMU/KVM directly, only through the virt-manager GUI
