I was hoping it wasn't going to come to that. That is, I hope it's not a
CentOS 6 issue.

The thing is I can't even get the install going. Windows complains that
drivers are missing and won't tell me what for!! WTF.

Hi Ranbir,
I have Son-of-Frankenstein (SOF, or W10) on Scientific Linux 6.6
under KVM.  I am currently on 10130.  And I am downloading 10158.

I suspect your ISO is corrupted.  Run your sha1sum against it.

Windows10_InsiderPreview_x64_EN-US_10130.iso

Here is the latest English 64 bit iso:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1504

Product key: 6P99N-YF42M-TPGBG-9VMJP-YKHCF


And this is my qemu run string, if it helps:

Damn it, I didn't consider that. I'm assuming you meant sha1sum because
I ran it and sure enough, no match.

I'm downloading it again. Hopefully I have better luck this time.

Thanks for the tip!
