To make sure openSUSE can coexist nicely with an existing Windows installation, we need to have automated regression testing. UEFI and secure boot are especially interesting.That means installing Windows and openSUSE in parallel in openQA.
Instead of just uploading some prepared hard disk image, openQA should ideally install Windows itself and save the generated image. In a second run openQA can then install the latest Leap or TW on that disk image.
By taking this project you can learn
- how to install Windows :-)
- how to write and modify tests in openQA
- how to make openQA save and use hard disk images
- quirks about UEFI and secure boot

A Windows installation ISO is available in MSDN.

I've wrapped some of the things catched up while installing Win10 on a qemu/kvm. Hope it would be useful. http://paste.opensuse.org/95245387

Looks like it should be booted with a recent QEMUCPU setting for Machine in openQA. I've used Haswell to overcome this.

Windows (10) doesn't have scsi drivers by default, drivers from ferdora project solved this issue. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WindowsVirtioDrivers
Compared with SLE or openSUSE has windows installation much worse quality .. lot of missing or behaving weird shortcuts/buttons, no scsi drivers it self and so on. (or windows is just slower that SUSE/not fast enough for openQA)
windows installtion doesn't run in qemu with -cpu qemu64, it works with -cpu host or core2duo
successfull installtion with scsi or ide-cd CDMODEL, I will open PR http://paste.opensuse.org/c8b8ecc4
