| [[QEMU i440fx machine type|pc]]
| Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
|This is the default machine. This machine emulates a PC with chipsets from circa 1996, although this doesn't hinder its it's ability to run newer operating systems or emulate newer CPUs. If you want more stability, it is recommended to use this.

| [[QEMU q35 machine type|q35]]
| Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009)
| This is another machine in QEMU which emulates a PC with chipsets from circa 2009. This machine is faster and more efficient, and takes up less resources but at a slight cost of stability. This is recommended for Windows 10 guests, as it makes it much faster. '''Note:''' Windows XP and below cannot be installed on this machine because the setup will crash with a ACPI-related BSOD.
