Truenas Scale Windows 10 vm no HDD

[Josef.H]

Working through installing Win10 on a VM, however when it comes to the point of selecting the install destination Windows Installer can never find the virtual HDD setup for the VM. The tutorials / videos i've found seem to have it just show up, Windows 11 and linux will find the HDD in the same configuration. In the BIOS of the VM the HDD shows up

Installation of Windows VM on Freenas 11.3

Hi all, Dug out my old Gen8 1610T Proliant server and have managed to upgrade it up to 11.3. This then gave me the idea to have a virtual machine running windows 10 off of it. I have got through the UEFI issue with the boot from file and am getting the windows logo appear. Almost immediately...

I think the bit you're stuck at is about 5:22 in the video.

So, the driver I was looking for was inside the viostor dir, not in the vioscsi :). (virtio-win-0.1.217.iso).

Maybe something to be aware of is that versions above 187 have seen many reports of issues (you seem to have 217 there).
