{{DISPLAYTITLE:How to install Windows Me in QEMU}}
'''Windows Millennium Edition''' (commonly referred to as just Windows Me or Windows ME) is an operating system created by Microsoft, released on June 19, 2000. It was the final addition to the Windows 9x series. Support ended in 2006.

Windows Me was quite notorious at time for its random crashes and frequent BSODs, earning the nickname "Mistake Edition" because of this. This mostly happened on physical hardware, though, and doesn't really occur on emulated hardware. In fact, Windows Me is actually your best bet for the stablest 9x experience on any hypervisors ever!
The QEMU Device Tablet, like in [[Windows 95]] and [[Windows 98]], does not work out of the box in Windows Me. However, [[Install QEMU Tablet Driver on Windows 98|this trick]] may work for installing the drivers on Windows Me.

Windows Me usually works on, but is highly unstable on, KVM, with very frequent lockups and BSODs. We'll just disable it, since you don't really need it anyways.
You can also use VMWare graphics adapter instead of Cirrus if you have the drivers available.
