Thanks for your response, Keith.

 

What do I need to do to switch to OVMF BIOS?

Hi Afsheen,

 

SeaBIOS IS legacy BIOS. Although Windows 10 should still work with it, if you want UEFI only, you need to look at a different solution such as OVMF.

Dear SeaBios Support,

 

I’m using KVM on a Redhat 7.3. I’m having difficulty creating a Windows 10 VM as it complains in the beginning of the installation that the BIOS is set to Legacy which should be disabled and set to UEFI. The BIOS of the physical host is indeed set to UEFI but the BIOS of the virtual box that KVM is using(Seabios version 1.9.1-5.el7) appears to be set to Legacy. I don’t know how to reconfigure Seabios to change it to UEFI. The VM boot menu doesn’t have any options to go to its bios. Apparently there should be some “kemu” or similar command with correct parameters which might do the trick. Any help would be appreciated very much.

 

Regards,

 

Afsheen
