Description

The patch removes support for the following versions of Windows:

  • Windows 8.1, which has been EOL since January 10, 2023.
  • Windows 10 LTSC, which is intended for large-scale, long-term enterprise deployments and makes little to no sense for a virtual machine.
    • The Windows 10 LTSC support in Quickemu also lacked VirtIO and automated installation.
    • Regular Windows 10 is still available in Quickemu.
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 which is EOL since October 10, 2023.

Type of change

  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation (updates documentation)

Checklist:

  • I have performed a self-review of my code
  • I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation

EOL since October 10, 2023.
- Windows 8.1 is EOL since January 10, 2023.
- Windows 10 LTSC just doesn't make sense for virtual machines.
