After booting the win7 VM, the DVD get recognized.
Windows is loading file progress bar is going smoothly
But the win7 VM goes into halted or transient state just after displaying the graphical splash screen Starting Windows
At the moment I am exploring how to resolve this issue in R4 https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2488
I've tried
qvm-features win7 video-model cirrus
but same problem
Fixed.
The minimum specs from Microsoft for Windows 7 64bits is 2GB of RAM.
qvm-prefs win7 memory 2048
I'll update the doc.
I have also tested that
qvm-features win7 video-model cirrus
is NOT required (in my case).
I should test fully before saying things. It was required after the first reboot.

Yes thanks a lot. I have now a working win7. Starting Windows-Tools install.
Thanks for the warning ;-)
I can't find qubes-windows-tools
is it in testing branch?
Nice one Ivan, this really pushes forward the ability to re-install Win7 without having to use Qubes 3.2. for it.
@Alex
Do you feel the system is as stable as it was on Qubes 3.2. with this fresh re-install on Qubes 4? Of course with the included Qubes 4 required adjustments like network, page-file, and so on.
I am not using Windows day to day. It is more to help the project that I spend time on it. I had tried a number of things with previous version of Qubes. Trying to get all things to work on R4.
I Have not yet done the QWT.
I think there is still some wokr for non tech users to feel as comfortable. It is stable but there are a number of small usability bugs. nothing you can't solve if you are happy to close qubes-manager and re-open or launch a dom0 command or two.
Would you know have to validate the rpm signature by any chance?
