I have installed Windows 8.1 on a virtual machine in KVM. Now I want to install Windows 10 with the same product key of Windows 8.1, so I try to install Windows 10 on the same virtual machine, overwriting Windows 8.1. So I add a SCSI CDROM device to the virtual machine and with path pointing to the Windows 10 .iso file.



Now when I start the virtual machine, how shall I enter BIOS to change the boot sequence? I try the following ways, but it always start Windows 8.1:



  1. pressing F2 doesn't seem to work, unless I am mistaken of the function keys on the laptop that I am not yet familiar with


  2. https://stackoverflow.com/a/19162267/



    virsh edit <your-domain-name>


    doesn't seem to work, because there seems no domain name and I am
    not sure what domain name means (doesn't seem to be the hostname of
    my laptop)



    $ virsh list
    Id Name State
    ----------------------------------------------------
    $


Thanks.

          a domain is a virtual machine



          so with this command virsh list --all you must see all virtual machines .



          you must be root or at least a privileged account than can talk to libvirtd .



          and after you can run
