Virtualizing physical Windows UEFI

I'm trying to virtualize a physical Windows machine with UEFI to an antlet, but the UEFI seems to be giving me problems booting it.

Has anyone done this?

I found some info on the internet about adding OVMF to the virsh info, but doing that wouldn't let the antlet start (I did find some OVMF files in on the antsle, so I thought that'd work).

If anyone needs this info, the OVMF files are on the Antsle XD (don't know about the Antsle One) in:

/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/

To enable UEFI, add this line to your antlet config (virsh edit {antlet name}) in the <os> section:

<loader type='rom'>/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>

This allowed me to do a Windows System Image restore from my physical Windows computer backup to the antlet.
