+You will need:
+
+  * Windows Server 2012 R2 iso. Obtain from MSDN
+  * A server with libvirt/virt-manager/KVM/etc set up.
+  * Fedora-sourced Windows virtio drivers: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.103-2/virtio-win-0.1.103.iso
+  * A Linode 1GB in the KVM beta, booted into Rescue mode, with a 20GB(20480MB) "raw" image.
+
+On the KVM source, run the following to create a VM:
+
+```
+virt-install --name=Winode --controller type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi --disk path=/dev/LVM/Winode,bus=scsi --graphics spice --vcpus=1 --ram=1024 --network bridge=br1 --os-type=windows --boot cdrom --location=/data/software/OSes/Windows\ Server\ 2012\ R2\ Update\ x64.iso
+```
+
+Assumptions are made about the path of an existing LVM device and the iso location. Open virt-manager. Add a second IDE CDROM device pointing to the virtio iso. Delete the provided NIC and create one using the virtio driver. Set the MAC address to that of the existing Linode(use `ip link show` to get it).
+
+Boot the VM, and go through the windows installation process slecting a Core install. It will fail to find a disk. Add a driver, and navigate to the second CD drive, viostor/2k12r2/amd64/. It should find the "RHEL Virtio SCSI" driver. Add it, then repeat the process with NetKVM/2k12r2/amd64/ for the network driver. Finish the wizard, and let the VM reboot. It will prompt you for a new password, then login.
+
+In the command prompt provided, enable the EMS(serial management, for Lish):
+
+```
+bcdedit /emssettings EMSPORT:1 EMSBAUDRATE:115200
+bcdedit /ems {current} on
