Best way to make a new VHD from a Windows 10 ISO

[Premiere]

Premiere, thank you for your hint. That is indeed interesting. You said:

Just replace image.raw with /dev/(yourWinDisk)sda,sdb, etc

What is "/dev/yourWinDisk" then? I want to start from a Windows ISO image, not from an existing partition on a hard disk. But maybe I've got you wrong.



Midas, thank you for your comment. I've already tried the format VHD as well as VHDX, it seems to make no difference here, the error message is still the same.

You can also try Reconvert the one you have with this utility and let me know if it works a bet it does.
Also make sure the ventoy drive is setup correctly.
NTFS cluster 2048 and the plugin is installed on the small boot partition in the ventoy folder.
sudo apt-get install qemu-utils
Windows.ISOs work fine for me. You really wouldn't want to convert an ISO. It's not supported I'm pretty sure.
VIRTUAL BOX , you can even use the dynamic VHD.
VMWARE PLAYER Also is FREE $ GOOD.
I really feel that taking the original disk and converting it into an image would be the best way.
