That's done, it wasn't that easy. Basically, I made on another Linux box a raw image of the disk containing the Windows installation: qemu-img convert /dev/sdX -O raw /path/to/saved/image/Windows10.raw
Then shrunk it to the desired size: qemu-img resize --shrink /path/to/saved/image/Windows10.raw -[SIZE DIFFERENCE]G Attached external drive to VM template Debian by running in dom0 terminal (in my case /dev/sda): qvm-block -a debian-9 sys-usb:sda After mounting drive in VM template with saved image, I run in dom0 terminal: qvm-run -p debian-9 'cat "/mount/point/Windows10.raw"' > Windows10.raw Then created Windows 10 HVM by running (whereas -r copies, -R moves): qvm-create -H -r/R Windows10.raw -s -m 4096 -l [COLOUR] [VM NAME] Now, the VM boots from the virtual disk, but my Qubes version seems to handle only 4 GB RAM out of 8. This is cause for complaints such as insufficient memory to start the VM, sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to succeed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
