Tested on Ubuntu 22.10 Asahi on M1 Air.
Other Ubuntu Asahi install info at https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3AAlternative-Distros
Also installs virt-manager.
Slirp included when compiling, to have user networking: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1917161

20G is max growable disk size here:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 ReactOS.qcow2 20G
Here -m 3G is 3 GB RAM.
Edit start.sh and set it executeable chmod +x start.sh with this content:
qemu-system-i386 -m 3G -drive if=ide,index=0,media=disk,file=ReactOS.qcow2 \
-drive if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom,file=ReactOS.iso -boot order=d \
-serial stdio -netdev user,id=n0 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0
Then run ./start.sh
- Create growable harddisk image of 80 GB:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 winxp.qcow2 80G
- Start install from winxp.iso
Edit start.sh and set it executeable chmod +x start.sh, here -m 4G is 4 GB RAM:
qemu-system-i386 -m 4G -drive if=ide,index=0,media=disk,file=winxp.qcow2 \
-drive if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom,file=winxp.iso -boot order=d \
-serial stdio -netdev user,id=n0 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0
- After install, boot without iso
qemu-system-i386 -m 4G -drive if=ide,index=0,media=disk,file=winxp.qcow2 \
-boot order=c \
-serial stdio -netdev user,id=n0 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0
- Create growable harddisk image of 80 GB:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 win10.qcow2 80G
- Start install from win10.iso
Edit start.sh and set it executeable chmod +x start.sh, here -m 4G is 4 GB RAM:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -drive if=ide,index=0,media=disk,file=win10.qcow2 \
-drive if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom,file=win10.iso -boot order=d \
-serial stdio -netdev user,id=n0 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0
- After install, boot without iso
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -drive if=ide,index=0,media=disk,file=win10.qcow2 \
-boot order=c \
-serial stdio -netdev user,id=n0 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0
- Create growable harddisk image of 80 GB:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 win11.qcow2 80G
- Start install from win11.iso
Edit start.sh and set it executeable chmod +x start.sh, here -m 4G is 4 GB RAM, -usbdevice tablet makes using mouse more exact:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda win11.qcow2 -cdrom win11.iso -boot d \
-smp 2 -m 4G -usbdevice tablet \
-serial stdio -netdev user,id=n0 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0
- When installing Win11
a) Use bypass registry keys:

b) Figure out UEFI and TPM and how to activate it, not tested:
