You will also need to use <code>qemutab.img</code> to get a working mouse. Other than that, the OS runs fine.▼ * Windows NT 3.5, 3.51, 4.0 * Windows ME - ME works fairly well, surprisingly. * Windows 3.11x - Use qemumouse.img from Lily's ISO directory for working mouse. * Windows 1.0 * MS-DOS * NetBSD * Xenix * Windows Vista betas (both pre-reset and post-reset, albeit setup will have graphical glitches) * Windows Neptune▼ * Many hobbyist OSes although some don't have support for the RTL8139 or just doesn't support USB-tablet === OSes with some issues === ▲* Windows 95 - After installing the OS, you'll need to run <code>FIX95CPU.iso</code> to prevent a "Windows Protection Error". You will also need to use <code>qemutab.img</code> to get a working mouse. Other than that, the OS runs fine. * Windows NT 3.1 - You will need to reboot into DOS and edit some setup files, see [https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2016/10/26/installing-windows-nt-3-1-physical-computer/ this page] for more info, other than that it will work, though there are no networking drivers. === OSes that barely work === * Windows 8.0 RTM - ~~Runs~~Technically ~~extremely~~runs ~~sluggish~~but unusable since the VM only has 512 MB of RAM,. ~~you also~~You will have to ~~patch~~create your own ISO that patches the SSE2/NX/PAE ~~check out,~~checks and enable auto logon since the login screen does not work without SSE2. Internet Explorer does not run. * Windows 98 - This OS seems to have a lot of issues in VMs in general for some reason, lots of BSODs and locking up, you will have to run <code>!reboot</code> a lot, but it ''is'' installable and will work once you get through the setup. [[Install QEMU Tablet Driver on Windows 98\|See this page to install the mouse]]. * SerenityOS - WindowServer fails to start * QNX 6 - Runs fine but non-functioning mouse despite USB stack and USB mouse module for all HCIs running. == Untested OSes == * Windows Vista betas (Longhorn, pre-reset) - They should work? * Windows Whistler ▲* Windows Neptune * Windows 2.x - Tip: qemutab.img has a usb-tablet driver for 2.x, use it for working mouse. * Everything else
