--- Additional comment from Jiri Belka on 2016-02-04 04:05:40 EST ---

Windows 10 drivers exist only on iso, they do neither exist on vfd or as "normal" files of the rpm:

$ rpm -qlp virtio-win-1.7.4-1.el6_7.2.noarch.rpm | egrep '/Win[^\/]*$'
/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/amd64/Win2003
/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/amd64/Win2008
/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/amd64/Win2008R2

/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/Win2003

/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/Win7
/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/Win8
/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/Win8.1
/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/WinXP

$ rpm -qlp virtio-win-1.7.4-1.el6_7.2.noarch.rpm | egrep '\.(iso|vfd)$'
/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.7.4.iso
/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.7.4_amd64.vfd
/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.7.4_x86.vfd
/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win.iso
/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win_amd64.vfd
/usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win_x86.vfd

$ for f in virtio-win-1.7.4.iso virtio-win-1.7.4_amd64.vfd virtio-win-1.7.4_x86.vfd ; do 7z l $f | egrep -i 'w(in)*10$' | while read l ; do echo $f $l ; done ; done 
virtio-win-1.7.4.iso 2015-10-08 20:06:44 D.... Balloon/w10
virtio-win-1.7.4.iso 2015-10-08 20:06:44 D.... NetKVM/w10
virtio-win-1.7.4.iso 2015-10-08 20:06:44 D.... viorng/w10
virtio-win-1.7.4.iso 2015-10-08 20:06:44 D.... vioscsi/w10
virtio-win-1.7.4.iso 2015-10-08 20:06:44 D.... vioserial/w10
virtio-win-1.7.4.iso 2015-10-08 20:06:44 D.... viostor/w10

So again, most users would install Windows 10 with virtio block device witch attaching vfd with drivers.
Comment 4 lijin 2016-02-14 01:45:36 UTC 
due to floppy size limitation,win10 drivers are not included in floppy file,QE announced it in bug1274123 during rhel7.2,just mark it here.
Comment 6 Cole Robinson 2016-02-29 19:15:10 UTC 
The script changes are upstream now:

https://github.com/crobinso/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/commit/6fd31dfbcb30d0dfebafe93e6ef2879e973e6315

So this just needs an internal rebuild to pick it up
Comment 10 Yash Mankad 2016-07-11 21:03:01 UTC 
Fixed in virtio-win-1.7.5-1.el6
Comment 15 lijin 2016-11-01 02:45:43 UTC 
check in virtio-win-1.8.0-1.el6,windows 10 drivers are included in both virtio-win-1.8.0_amd64.vfd and virtio-win-1.8.0_x86.vfd.

So this issue has been fixed.

Change status to verified.
