      @Tim_G I believe that if you get this SPICE driver installed inside windows then you get clipboard copy paste portability and such.

      I see. I did a quick search and found these:

      https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/SPICE
      https://www.spice-space.org/spice-user-manual.html

      At quick glance it looks a little confusing or involved. It will take me a bit to knock it down into easy steps like in my original post. That's how I like to do things if possible, if anyone already has notes on it that would be helpful.
      Otherwise, I won't be able to touch this until the weekend. I'm too busy to break things atm.

          @coliver awesome. nailed it..
          Now the only thing I want is to figure out how to get the full screen mode to use both of my monitors.

          But I have not even googled that yet.

            I'm pretty sure this will work but I haven't tested it.

              Oh, so this is a guest only thing? Don't I have to install SPICE server or something on Fedora?

              I thought I had to do a ton of things in Fedora CLI.

              I guess I'm just so lost atm because I haven't had time to properly look into it yet.

                Nope Virt Manager is already running the SPICE server. You just have to install the guest agent and you're good to go.

                    Done. What an improvement! Especially when windowed.

                    Adding this bit into my OP.

                    Thanks!

                      I'm curious about why you install both virtio drivers and spice guest tools?
                      Spice Guest Tools also includes virtio drivers.

                        I only install this ^^
                        IIRC, both do the same thing.

                          I did not know that the Spice Guest Tools installed everything the virtio-win.iso installs. If that is so, I can remove that from the procedure.

                            From what I can tell we only need the SPICE agent for Windows or Linux in order to have to the enhanced features. Before I've always installed the virtio drivers that is provided by Fedora and then installed SPICE guest agent.

                              Do I need virtio drivers if I have already installed spice tools? I am a little confused about the difference between the two. Because when I installed Spice Tools, it installed drivers for various components...

                                  I have only ever installed the spice tools for this. I have never had a problem on my desktop or laptop when doing it this way.

                                    I believe they are included in Spice Tools... Haven't touched KVM in awhile to test though.

                                      Spice Guest Tools includes the latest stable version of the virtio drivers which I believe is 0.1.141

                                        Spice Tools seems to work better.

                                          Do I need virtio drivers if I have already installed spice tools? I am a little confused about the difference between the two. Because when I installed Spice Tools, it installed drivers for various components...

                                          Spice Guest Tools includes the latest stable version of the virtio drivers which I believe is 0.1.141

                                          Yes. I figured that out after posting.

                                            Spice Tools seems to work better.

                                            Maybe update the OP to say it is best to install Spice Tools, but if you need to manually install virtio drivers, here are the steps....
