  1. Launch a new virtual machine with the latest ISO and the hard disk.
  • Linux:
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
  • Windows:
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
  1. Start the VM.
  2. Press any key to dismiss the splash screen.
