The current QEMU instructions are Linux-specific. I added a few lines to the markdown file to illustrate the different accel parameter, and to add some powershell to (slowly) calculate the correct number of cores.

1. Create a new virtual machine hard disk drive.
* `qemu-img create -f qcow2 ZealOS.qcow2 1G`
2. Launch a new virtual machine with the latest ISO and the hard disk.
- * `qemu-system-x86_64 -audiodev sdl,id=snd0 -machine q35,kernel_irqchip=off,pcspk-audiodev=snd0,accel=kvm -cdrom ZealOS-YYYY-MM-DD-HH_MM_SS.iso -hda ZealOS.qcow2 -m 2G -smp $(nproc) -rtc base=localtime -nic user,model=pcnet`
+ * Linux:

+ * Windows - The same but with different accel and using PowerShell to provide the number of cores:
+ `qemu-system-x86_64.exe -audiodev sdl,id=snd0 -machine q35,kernel_irqchip=off,pcspk-audiodev=snd0,accel=whpx -cdrom ZealOS-YYYY-MM-DD-HH_MM_SS.iso -hda ZealOS.qcow2 -m 2G -smp $(get-computerinfo -property csprocessors).csprocessors.numberofcores -rtc base=localtime -nic user,model=pcnet`
3. Start the VM.
4. Press any key to dismiss the splash screen.
5. Type `Y` when asked if you want to install onto a hard drive.```
