Try converting the disks to just be img files, not qcow.
This is my config file for Windows that works on all my PCs.
If they don't work when you convert them, then there is something else wrong.
Just as a test, that is all.
If they do work when converted, then that will tell me everything I need to
know to resolve the issue.
