Windows 7 to Windows 10 in a KVM success!

[Tom Horsley]

I've been running a Windows 7 KVM virtual machine for
a while with a Fedora 22 host, and I found lots of
conflicting info on the web about the possibility
of installing the Windows 10 upgrade in a KVM.

After taking great care to preserve the original
Windows 7 image file, I gave the upgrade a whirl
and it seems to have worked OK for me.

Now it won't constantly badger me about upgrading :-).

No, but they'll find something ELSE to badger you about. Microsoft is
really good at being bloody annoying!

I did have to spend some time figuring out how to get it to stop
telling me the firewall was turned off every 10 minutes :-).
