Hmm, then, shouldn't either kvm or qemu mask features that we do not

I expected so, but Avi here seems to say windows will crash if you
use a new CPU with it ...
No, Windows tries to detect changes in your hardware and assumes that
if too many things change, you might be a pirate and requires you to
phone their offices to re-authenticate.
'Just' the CPU is not big deal. Might hit you with two 'bad' points.
Network interface + CPU will require re-activation.
