Bringing up a Win10 VM on Fedora 28 Cinnamon Desktop

Do I need virtio drivers if I have already installed spice tools? I am a little confused about the difference between the two. Because when I installed Spice Tools, it installed drivers for various components...
-
I dont appear to be missing any drivers...

I have only ever installed the spice tools for this. I have never had a problem on my desktop or laptop when doing it this way.

I believe they are included in Spice Tools... Haven't touched KVM in awhile to test though.

Spice Guest Tools includes the latest stable version of the virtio drivers which I believe is 0.1.141

Maybe update the OP to say it is best to install Spice Tools, but if you need to manually install virtio drivers, here are the steps....

Oh just realized this was my thread. Will do.
Edit: Yeah this is a little outdated. I'll fix it up. It's hard to keep all of my posts up to date... rather impossible.

If it is a significant change, i liek to make a new one referring back to the original.
