Hi All,
 
 Fedora 39
 qemu-kvm-8.1.3-5.fc39.x86_64
 virt-manager-4.1.0-3.fc39.noarch

winfsp-2.0.23075.msi
 Windows 10 and 7
 
 How do I Share Host Files (Fedora 39) with Windows 10 and 7 (client) with KVM?
 
 I have been reading this virt-manager how to:
 

 Share Files Between the KVM Host and Windows Guest Using Virtiofs
 
https://sysguides.com/share-files-between-the-kvm-host-and-windows-guest-using-virtiofs
 
And it is working beautifully BUT only with Windows 11.
 
 In Windows 10 and 7, winfsp-2.0.23075.msi installs something called
      "WinFsp.Launcher"
 which fired off
      "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\SxS\sxs.20240706T091144Z\bin\launcher-x64.exe"
 And no shared drive.
 
 In Windows 11
, winfsp-2.0.23075.msi installs
      "VirtioFsSvc"
 which fires off
      "C:\Program Files\Virtio-Win\VioFS\virtiofs.exe"
 And sharing works well.
 
 What the heck????   Is there a better How To for Windows 10 and 7 out there?
 -T
