The code builds and ships as part\nof the virtio-win RPM on Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and the\nbinaries are also available in the form of distribution-neutral ISO\nand VFD images. If all you want is use virtio-win in your Windows\nvirtual machines, go to the\n[Fedora virtIO-win documentation][fedora-virtio]\nfor information on obtaining the binaries.\n\nIf you'd like to build virtio-win from sources, clone this repo and\nfollow the instructions in [Building the Drivers][wiki-building].\nNote that the drivers you build will be either unsigned or test-signed\nwith Tools/VirtIOTestCert.cer, which means that Windows will not load\nthem by default. See [Microsoft's driver signing page][ms-signing]\nfor more information on test-signing.\n\nIf you want to build cross-signed binaries (like the ones that ship in\nthe Fedora RPM), you'll need your own code-signing certificate.\nCross-signed drivers can be used on all versions of Windows except for\nthe latest Windows 10 with secure boot enabled. However, systems with\ncross-signed drivers will not receive Microsoft support.\n\nIf you want to produce Microsoft-signed binaries (fully supported,\nlike the ones that ship in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux RPM), you'll\nneed to submit the drivers to Microsoft along with a set of test\nresults (so called WHQL process). If you decide to WHQL the drivers,\nmake sure to base them on commit eb2996de or newer, since the GPL\nlicense used prior to this commit is not compatible with WHQL.\nAdditionally, we ask that you make a change to the Hardware IDs so\nthat your drivers will *not* match devices exposed by the upstream\nversions of KVM/QEMU. This is especially important if you plan to\ndistribute the drivers with Windows Update, see the \n[Microsoft publishing restrictions][ms-publishing] for more details.\n\n[fedora-virtio]:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-windows-virtual-machines-using-virtio-drivers/index.html\n[wiki-building]:https://virtio-win.github.io/Development/Building-the-drivers-using-Windows-11-24H2-EWDK\n[ms-signing]:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/installing-test-signed-driver-packages\n[ms-publishing]:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/dashboard/publishing-restrictions\n- - - -\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvirtio-win%2Fkvm-guest-drivers-windows","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvirtio-win%2Fkvm-guest-drivers-windows","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvirtio-win%2Fkvm-guest-drivers-windows/lists"}
