Testing And Unstable • Re: [SID - Unstable] Boxes QCOW2 ?

how do I convert
How is it qcow? qcow2 should have been in use for the last decade or so.
With qemu-utils installed, use qemu-img. This can convert between formats, I have never used qcow and only cycle between raw and qcow2, but it should work fine. It's a vm, test are free!

something like this

Code:

qemu-img convert -c -O qcow2 /path/to/whatever.qcow /path/to/new.qcow2
the -c option can compresses if the win11 is ntfs.

Before converting you should run any trim routines possible, I wouldn't know for w11. If not, it can be performed on the qcow2 if needed to gain some disk space.
