Launch Windows as the Guest VM on ACRN
######################################
This tutorial describes how to launch Windows as a Guest (WaaG) VM on the
ACRN hypervisor.
ACRN Service VM Setup
*********************
Follow the steps in this :ref:`rt_industry_ubuntu_setup` to set up ACRN
based on Ubuntu and launch the Service VM.
Setup for Using Windows as the Guest VM
***************************************
In the following steps, you'll first create a Windows image
in the Service VM, and then launch that image as a Guest VM.
Verified version
================
* Windows 10 Version:
- Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, 10.0.17134 Build 17134
- Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Evaluation, 10.0.17763 Build 17763
* Windows graphics driver:
- igfx_win10_100.7212.zip
Create a Windows 10 image in the Service VM
===========================================
Create a Windows 10 image to install Windows 10 onto a virtual disk.
Download Win10 ISO and drivers
------------------------------
#. Download `Windows 10 LTSC ISO <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise>`_.
- Select **ISO-LTSC** and click **Continue**.
- Complete the required info. Click **Continue**.
- Select the language and **x86 64 bit**. Click **Download ISO** and save as ``windows10-LTSC-17763.iso``.
#. Download the `Intel DCH Graphics Driver
<https://downloadmirror.intel.com/29074/a08/igfx_win10_100.7212.zip>`__.
#. Download the `Oracle Windows driver <https://edelivery.oracle.com/osdc/faces/SoftwareDelivery>`_.
- Sign in. If you do not have an Oracle account, register for one.
- Select **Download Package**. Key in **Oracle Linux 7.6** and click
**Search**.
- Click **DLP: Oracle Linux 7.6** to add to your Cart.
- Click **Checkout** which is located at the top-right corner.
- Under **Platforms/Language**, select **x86 64 bit**. Click **Continue**.
- Check **I accept the terms in the license agreement**. Click **Continue**.
- From the list, right check the item labeled **Oracle VirtIO Drivers
Version for Microsoft Windows 1.x.x, yy MB**, and then **Save link as
...**. Currently, it is named **V982789-01.zip**.
- Click **Download**. When the download is complete, unzip the file. You
will see an ISO named **winvirtio.iso**.
Create a raw disk
-----------------
Run these commands on the Service VM::
$ sudo apt-get install qemu-utils
$ mkdir /home/acrn/img
$ cd /home/acrn/img
$ qemu-img create -f raw win10-ltsc.img 30G
Prepare the script to create an image
-------------------------------------
#. Copy ``/usr/share/acrn/samples/nuc/launch_win.sh`` to ``install_win.sh``::
$ cp /usr/share/acrn/samples/nuc/launch_win.sh /home/acrn/img/install_win.sh
#. Edit the ``acrn-dm`` command line in ``install_win.sh`` as follows:
.. note:: Make sure you use GVT-g ``-s 2,pci-gvt -G "$2"`` in the
``acrn-dm`` command line. Currently, we do not support creating a
windows image by GVT-d.
- Change ``-s 3,virtio-blk,./win10-ltsc.img`` to your path to the Windows
10 image.
- Add ``-s 6,xhci,1-5:1-9``. You may need to change 1-5:1-9 to match the
ports of the USB keyboard/mouse and flash on your platform.
- Add ``-s 8,ahci,cd:./windows10-LTSC-17763.iso`` to point to the Win10
ISO.
- Add ``-s 9,ahci,cd:./winvirtio.iso`` to point to your path to the
winvirtio iso.
Install Windows 10 by GVT-g
---------------------------
.. note:: Make sure you have configured your monitor and display according
to **3** of :ref:`Boot Windows with GVT-g on ACRN <waag_display_conf_lable>`.
#. Run ``install_win.sh``. When you see the UEFI shell, input **exit**.
#. Select **Boot Manager** and boot from Win10 ISO.
#. When the display reads **Press any key to boot from CD or DVD** on the
monitor, press any key in the terminal on the **Host** side.

#. Click **Browser** and go to the drive that includes the virtio win
drivers. Select **all** under **vio\\w10\\amd64**. Install the
following drivers into the image:
- Virtio-balloon
- Virtio-net
- Virtio-rng
- Virtio-scsi
- Virtio-serial
- Virtio-block
- Virtio-input
.. note:: Be sure to unselect **Hide Drivers that aren't compatible with
this computer's hardware** near the bottom of the page.

#. Click **Next**.

#. Continue with the installation.
.. figure:: images/windows_install_7.png
:align: center
#. Verify that the system restarts.
.. figure:: images/windows_install_8.png
:align: center
#. Configure your system when Windows completes its restart cycle.
.. figure:: images/windows_install_9.png
:align: center
#. Verify that the Windows desktop displays after the Windows installation is complete.
.. figure:: images/windows_install_10.png
:align: center
#. Copy the `Intel DCH Graphics Driver
<https://downloadmirror.intel.com/29074/a08/igfx_win10_100.7212.zip>`__ into
Windows and install in safe mode. The display driver is updated to 7212.
.. _waag_display_conf_lable:
Boot Windows on ACRN with a default configuration
=================================================
#. Modify the ``/usr/share/acrn/samples/nuc/launch_win.sh`` script to
specify the Windows image that is generated above.
#. Run ``launch_win.sh``. The WaaG desktop displays on the HDMI monitor.
.. note::
We support GVT-g and GVT-d while launching Windows guest. If you use GVT-g, you can set up Weston in the Service VM, and set up
Weston as the desktop environment in the Service VM in order to
experience Windows with the AcrnGT local display feature. If you use
GVT-d, set **DVMT Pre-Allocated** to **64MB** and set **PM Support**
to **Enabled** in the BIOS. Then, only Windows displays.

Secure boot enabling
********************
Refer to the steps in :ref:`How-to-enable-secure-boot-for-windows` for
secure boot enabling.
Activate Windows 10
********************
If you use a trial version of Windows 10, you might find that some
apps and features do not work or that Windows 10 automatically gets shut
down by the Windows licensing monitoring service. To avoid these issues,
obtain a licensed version of Windows.
For Windows 10 activation steps, refer to
`Activate Windows 10 <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12440/windows-10-activate>`__.
