This is now solved upstream (see https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1759)

Gamerboo0fficial commented 8 months ago

im nt all that tech savvy and it gives me very little detail could you help explain it a bit better

mcayland commented 8 months ago

It means that if you want to run pre-NT versions of Windows in UTM then you'll need to wait for the corresponding patch to be applied to UTM, or for a future version of UTM rebased upon the next upstream 9.0 release.

(tagging @osy for reference)

Ok thank you so i cant install wIn98se at all until a new release gotcha

As a workaround, you can download UTM 3.1.5, which has an older version of QEMU. It should work fine for pre-NT versions of Windows.

The problem's still around with release v4.5.3.
