A problem you could run into doing this is licensing. WIndows uses a
variety of methods to detect if a valid product key is being run on
multiple machines, which includes some checks on the hardware. Since a
virtual machine is never going to have virtual hardware that exactly
matches your PC, there's a good chance that, even if you succeed in getting
your native install to run under a hypervisor, Windows may well consider it
an unlicensed copy.
I recently had a Windows 10 VM that this happened to when I just upgraded
Virtual Box, didn't touch the Windows VM at all.

Hi All,
Is there a way to tape a native Windows hard
drive and port it to qemu-kvm?
