I am quite new to Linux.
First I tried Linux Mint and found WinApps, installed it and it worked fine after several tries.
However, after some time I was not happy with Mint.
So I copied the virtual hard drive. And switched to Debian. The NVIDIA graphics driver is a bit of a challenge for a beginner, but in the end everything is fine.
Now I want to use my virtual hard drive with the finished Windows in Debian again. However, I have of course let Debian set up my hard drives and created a /home partition. Debian has given itself 30GB. So I have no space in /var/lib/libvirt/images for Windows.
I saw here that someone who used Docker had a similar problem as me and was recommended to use "bind mount". Gemini recommended me to configure the /etc/fstab. That worked.
And in virt-manager I can start Windows.
But the installation does not go through.
"Checking for existing conflicting WinApps installations... Done!
Attempting to load WinApps configuration file... Done!
Checking whether dependencies are installed... Done!
Checking whether the user 'stefan' is part of the required groups... Done!
Checking the status of the Windows VM... Failed!
ERROR: WINDOWS VM DOES NOT EXIST.
The Windows VM 'RDPWindows' could not be found."

Does anyone have an idea?
