{{DISPLAYTITLE:How to install Windows Vista in QEMU}}
'''Windows Vista''' is an operating system created by Microsoft, released on November 8, 2006. Support ended on April 11, 2017.
 
==Running on CollabVM==
Or if running without root or virtualization:
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda winvista.img -boot c -cpu qemu64 -m 1G -vga std -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usbdevice tablet -localtime</pre>
 
====Setting up your VM====
 
After going through the OOBE, it is recommended to go through gpedit.msc and manage some policies. If you have an AD (Active Directory) server, you can hook up your VM to that and manage policies there. If you want, you can also "debloat" the OS making it run slightly faster, though, versions earlier than 8.1 are not as bad.
