Description

Windows virtual machines can use faster virtual storage, networking, ballooning, and device drivers through virtio support. This is useful for KVM, QEMU, and related virtualization setups running Windows guests.

The package provides driver media for guest systems, not a host desktop app. Install drivers only inside the intended Windows VM and keep recovery snapshots before changing storage or network drivers.
