If you want to bypass
If you want to bypass the initial benchmarks and go straight to the installation of the Virtio drivers, skip to 4:45.
In this video, I show you how install the VirtIO drivers in a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine, running in the Virtualization Station of a QNAP TS-451. I also perform some simple disk and network benchmarks before and after the install.
Please note that the website for the virtio driver has changed (at the 4:50 mark). It is now: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/.... Thanks to Fenghe Xe for the tip.
Excellent tip from Pit if you have the same use case: If you're already using two IDE-based harddisks like c:\ (Boot) and d:\ (Data) in your Windows 10 VM you will probably get an error message like "No bootable device found" after switching the interface on c:\ to "VirtIO". d:\ works like a charm but your boot device will stuck with the "IDE"-interface no matter what. The solution is very simple: Shutdown your virtual machine. Go to your Windows-VM-"Settings". Click "Storage". Delete all hard disks - not the hard disk image itself! - except for the boot hard disk (c:\). Now change the interface from the boot hard disk to "VirtIO". Boot your virtual machine. This should work without an issue. Shut down your VM. Go to "Settings" and "Storage" again - and "Add device". Add your hard disk image (d:\) and set the interface to "VirtIO". Done! No Windows re-installation, no fiddling with drivers...
