This will give us access to commands like dism and commands in PowerShell needed for working with the ISO's. If PXE booting Windows images you may also choose "Windows Preinstall Environment (Windows PE)".
#SLIPSTREAMED WINDOWS 10 1809 ISO INSTALL#
The only required selection from the checklist of install options is "Development Tools". I would generally recommend ~25GB free space per ISO plus at least 32GB for Windows and programs to install. Make sure to have enough space to handle your ISO's + spare space.
#SLIPSTREAMED WINDOWS 10 1809 ISO PRO#
I recommend using either Windows 10 Pro or Windows Server 2019 to do this on. This can be another VM or a physical machine.

The following are the steps to prepare for slipstreaming the VirtIO drivers into a Windows ISO. Understand what each step does and why you are doing it. Read over the entire guide before attempting the steps.You may consider keeping copies of the modified install.wim and boot.wim in case you need to inject additional drivers or updates to them at another time.Prior to doing any of these steps, ensure your original ISO works for installation.Keep original copies of your ISO's in a safe place, especially if they are not simply downloads from Microsoft's site (like a retail ISO).Installing Windows Server GUI-less as a Proxmox VM: (Another great article from the perspective of doing the process without a desktop GUI).

The VirtIO ISO also contains the qemu guest agent which allows the KVM host (Proxmox) to have better control over a guest OS, in this case Windows. This includes but is not limited to: display drivers, storage drivers, networking drivers, etc. In brief, VirtIO drivers are drivers designed to allow Windows VM's to perform better when used with KVM based virtualization, like Proxmox currently uses. Should you want to also inject Windows updates I suggest you research the topic and incorporate the additional setup and commands into your workflow.

I also am not covering how to inject updates into Windows, though it is possible using similar methods. All users are responsible for legally licensing, activating and using their installation(s) of Windows on their own systems. The details provided in this guide are intended to help users test Windows in virtual environments using either evaluation licenses or licenses the user owns already. Users are responsible for properly licensing and activating their copies/installation of Windows. These methods are NOT intended to circumvent licensing or legitimate purchase/use of the mentioned software. Feel free to try other versions as needed. They may work as is, with modification or not at all. Just because I have not tested a version of Windows does not mean the methods outlined here will not work.
