+# EXPERIMENTAL, by hand only. Builds the Windows 11 guest image from the evaluation ISO on a hosted
+# runner with KVM and runs the Windows unit tests in it (`nix run .#windows-nextest`). Nothing says that
+# it works on a hosted runner: the install takes about 20 minutes with KVM, the runner may have no
+# nested virtualization, the guest needs the internet for the Visual C++ runtime, and the display
+# driver of the second monitor (virtio-win's QXL driver) is not fetched, so the guest has one display.
+# The steps follow e2e/platforms/qemu_windows/README.md. It is not part of the ladder and not required.
