C:\Users\username\qemu>qemu-system-i386 -cdrom D: -hda win98.qcow2 -boot d OK, the accelerator probably needs admin access to install a driver or something (I’m guessing, and too lazy to find out for sure for now I just want to see if something will work). Qemu-system-i386: -machine accel=kvm: No accelerator found C:\Users\username\qemu>qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -cdrom D: -hda win98.qcow2 -boot d This created a 1 GB hard drive in native QEMU format (qcow2).
Ran C:\Users\username\qemu>qemu-img create -f qcow2 win98.qcow2 1G Formatting 'win98.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16 Opened CMD prompt and cd’d into qemu, which is where the executable files live. It went into C:\Program Files\qemu.Ĭopied the qemu directory onto a USB stick and then onto the machine with no admin rights, just under the user account ( C:\Users\username\qemu) OK, went to Win 10 machine where I do have admin rights and installed there (both machines 64 bit). I have install disks for Windows 98, but we do not have administrator access so we cannot install VirtualBox. We’ve got a Windows 10 notebook and an old game that won’t run on this version of Windows.
