= Installing VirtIO drivers during Windows installation
|
|
|
|
[role="_abstract"]
|
|
You can install the VirtIO drivers while installing Windows on a virtual machine (VM).
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
This procedure uses a generic approach to the Windows installation and the installation method might differ between versions of Windows. See the documentation for the version of Windows that you are installing.

|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* A storage device containing the `virtio` drivers must be attached to the VM.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. In the Windows operating system, use the `File Explorer` to navigate to the `virtio-win` CD drive.
|
|
. Double-click the drive to run the appropriate installer for your VM.
|
|
+
|
|
For a 64-bit vCPU, select the `virtio-win-gt-x64` installer. 32-bit vCPUs are no longer supported.
|
|
|
|
. Optional: During the *Custom Setup* step of the installer, select the device drivers you want to install. The recommended driver set is selected by default.
|
|
. After the installation is complete, select *Finish*.
|
|
. Reboot the VM.
|
|
|
|
.Verification
|
|
|
|
. Open the system disk on the PC. This is typically `C:`.
|
|
. Navigate to *Program Files* -> *Virtio-Win*.
|
|
|
|
If the *Virtio-Win* directory is present and contains a sub-directory for each driver, the installation was successful.
