Webtropia - install own windows via qemu-kvm
I'm pretty new to all this, but I do currently have a Hetzner Dedicated that I installed Windows 10 pro on via the Joodle image (I have my own license but have tested using 2008, server 2012 and 2019).
I purchased a server from Webtropia (Ryzen 1700x) (now refunded it due to the details below, but still want to order), but cannot get the Joodle method or https://www.danpros.com/2017/09/install-windows-on-any-server-using-rescue-system-and-qemu-kvm working.
With the Joodle image, everything installs, I reboot but cannot access the machine, no ping reply etc, so have to re-enter rescue and reinstall - rinse and repeat.
Using the Danpros method, windows installs and I can boot it after a reboot, but only after going into rescue,downloading and mounting the windows image file, and then using qemu-kvm and then it boots and is usable - so Im assuming it's something related to mbr etc (Im probably wrong as I'm still learning).
Does anyone have any tips that might help? I've been googling for the last 2 weeks, but without a bit more knowledge, I'm not even sure what I'm looking for (Searched here too, and while I've found similar threads, I can't see anything the same) and I'd really like to order the server 
Any help is much appreciated.

So, instead of contacting the support you have cancelled/refunded the server while actually wanting to keep it and now want to order it again?
I did contact their support, who replied : We cannot provide you with software support if you decide to use your own software and licensing.
Hmm.. Atleast I believe you could at any time pay for their Windows license and they'll set it up for you
The only way that worked for me was virtualization.
I installed the Proxmox image and then created a VM with Windows.
Or just pay the money to rent the KVM and do it that way.
The reason I didn't go for windows is because I have several licenses and trying to keep the cost down - the server will be funded by a small community who can't afford a lot.
I did consider the KVM, but wondered if I'd have the same issues as with qemu-kvm which would be a waste of 30euros
I did try that, but couldn't work out how to get the network working as I've not used linux much. I'm going to install it on a spare PC I have and try to work it out so that I can re-order.
Use this tutorial, its work for me.

I think that's the same as the danpros guide, and with that, I can only boot windows by going into qemu-kvm, downloading and mounting the windows ISO and boot that.
Have you used that on myloc/webtropia/servdiscount?

OK thanks, might try again, maybe I went wrong somewhere
Kind of like a crack den?
Maybe you need to use the image with uefi
Worth a try
Thanks, that worked, although I couldnt get the windows installer to boot, vnc just logged me into ubunbtu, so I followed https://www.danpros.com/2017/09/install-windows-on-any-server-using-rescue-system-and-qemu-kvm until I was in the install process, and then the rest of it via the rodney.io guide.
i have the same problem and this rodney blog is down. would you please help me
