Please read the message regarding software licenses in the Section called Third Party Software Licensing and Temporary Files in the Chapter called Introduction to Bochs before you install Windows 10 as a guest operating system in Bochs.
Windows 10 has been reported to install from the CD-ROM, and run inside Bochs, though a few hacks where used to do so. For more information, see this thread.
I used another emulator to successfully install Windows 10. Then using Bochs, after a considerable amount of time and a few reboots, I finally got Win10 to boot and load in Bochs.
Here are the settings I used when running on a Windows10 host, running at 3.0Ghz.
romimage: file=D:/path/to/your/bios/BIOS-bochs-latest cpu: model=corei7_sandy_bridge_2600k cpu: count=1, ips=325000000, reset_on_triple_fault=1, ignore_bad_msrs=1 cpu: cpuid_limit_winnt=0 clock: sync=realtime, time0=local memory: guest=2048, host=2048 vgaromimage: file=D:/path/to/your/bios/VGABIOS-lgpl-latest-cirrus.bin vga: extension=cirrus, update_freq=5 pci: enabled=1, chipset=i440fx, slot1=cirrus |
![]() | If you use an IPS value less than 325,000,000, Win10 will BSOD and want you to reboot (Assuming a host at 3.0Ghz). |
