Problems with Windows 10 UTM on iPad

Open SuperGamer747 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I downloaded the windows 10 iso file here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10, and I leaved all the settings as default.

I am constantly getting this message: The data couldnât be read because it isnât in the correct format. Occasionally I get into the device, but I always get stuck on startup.nsh. I tried pressing every key, even esc, and it always goes to Shell>

Configuration (required)

  • UTM Version: 4.5.3
  • OS Version: Windows 10
  • Device Model: Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (alias of pc-q35-7.2) (q35)
  • My device: iPad 8th gen (iPadOS 17.5.1)
  • Is it jailbroken (name jailbreak used)? I used AltStore
  • How did you install UTM? Via AltStore source

Debug log when I did get in

I tried again, and finally I got to the next stage, where it said something about not having enough memory to do something.

I added more memory and tried again, but it wouldn’t work. Here is an image of very first stage that disappears quickly. IMG_9696

As far as I remember, it mentions on the wiki that no more than 20% of the iPhone/iPad memory can be dedicated, otherwise the OS will terminate the process. So I'm afraid that Windows 10 cannot work, since it wants more but cannot give it. Windows 7/XP might?
