CentOS - Apr 2020 - Windows 10 as guest on Centos 8

Hi there!
Im trying to install windows 10 as a guest on Centos 8.1
I tried with cockpit and with boxes and both times my computer freezes
during installation.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

cockpit is intended as a replacement for virt-manager. When it fails, I
suggest you fall back on the tried-and-tested approach.

I sense you're looking for a GUI solution here but, when I've run into
trouble, my fallback is virt-install.

I agree with Liam. The good old tried and tested virt-manager will be
obsoleted in the future but it is still available on RHEL/CentOS 8.
Cockpit will replace it in the future but it still lacks a lot of
essential features.

Boxes is a tool that lacks even more functionality.

As to why your computer freezes I have no clue.
