New Dell Image

[The PowerTool <thepowertool_sc hotmail com>]

I just purchased a new Dell system with 2 drives (SSD for OS & 2nd 2TB data drive).

I booted to a Fedora Live image (USB) and images the SSD to obtain the pre-boot-image.  I also imaged the 2nd data drive on GP and in case Windows 10 kept something important, there).

I'd like to now use my dell image (from the SSD) in boxes so I can access my dell windows 10 environment safely from within a virtual environment.  I don't want an alt-boot system.  I only want to boot to Linux.

I pointed gnome-boxes to my SSD image file and it now appears to be stuck on "booting from hard disk".

~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five)

~]$ uname -a

Linux mysystem 4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 8 18:46:06 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

from top:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

I would have expected qemu-system-x86_64.

I am not very familiar with secure boot.  Can I make this work?  It's definitely trying to do something at 101.3% CPU.

Any help and pointers would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!
