使用 UTM 将 VHDX 文件转换为 qcow2 文件的原因（苹果硅上的虚拟 windows11）

Question

I'm just wondering that reasons for converting VHDX files into qcow2 files in using UTM program.

I want to use windows11 on m1 mac, and I saw a post by others.

But they said "Convert VHDX file into qcow2 file.", I wonder that reasons for.

Answer 1

More or less for performance. VHDX files are converted into qcow2 as it better integrates with the qemu architecture which is used for virtualisation on Apple Silicon Macs (M1+).

This conversion is done automatically by UTM when creating the virtual machine manually converting is no longer necessary.
