Assuming its OpenStack with KVM: https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status#Windows_Family Note that you might have some interesting times with the licensing. From what I have understood (I am not a license specialist so take this with a pile of salt): You must have a Windows (datacenter?) license per hypervisor that can potentially run Windows instances.
