The ISO can't be bigger than your memory.
Did you boot rescue x64?

Yes, I boot rescue x64
Yes, ISO is 4.8 while my memory is 8GB

This is the full error from qemu

qemu-system-x86_64: cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory
Aborted

EDIT: Nevermind I installed the joodle templates of windows 12 and saved this hassle

You're setting the qemu virtual memory size to 10GB. You have 8GB RAM minus the Windows ISO residing in tmpfs.
