Comment 3 Tamir 2021-03-14 13:36:04 UTC
Verified on RHV 4.4.5-9. All looks good to me.

Env:
  - Engine instance with RHV 4.4.5-9 (ovirt-engine-4.4.5.9-0.1.el8ev) and RHEL 8.3 installed.
  - 3 hosts with RHV 4.4.5-9 and RHEL 8.3, vdsm-4.40.50.8-1.el8ev

Steps:
1. Create a 4.5 data center and a 4.5 cluster.
2. Install the hosts and create a new NFS storage domain.
3. Import an ISO domain with Windows 10 x64 ISO.
4. Create a VM with operating system set as Windows 10 x64, add a 20GB SATA disk, Select the NIC, Enter memory size a minimum of 3GB and attach the Windows ISO.
5. Run the VM.
6. Install the Windows.
7. Replace the disk in the cd-rom with an old virtio-win.iso.
8. Restart the VM.
9. Install the old Windows drivers.
10. Search new updates using the Windows Update.
11. Install the drivers. 


Results (As Expected):
Actual results:
1. The data center and the cluster were created.
2. The host was installed and the storage domain and NIC were created.
3. The ISO domain was imported.
4. The VM was created.
5. The VM is running.
6. Windows has been installed.
7. The disk in the cd-rom was replaced.
8. The VM is up again.
9. The old Windows drivers are installed.
10. New Red Hat drivers were found.
11. The new drivers were installed successfully. 

I also ran the DB query:
select * From vdc_options where option_name='SkuToAVLevel';

The query's result:
584	"SkuToAVLevel"		"4.2"	
585	"SkuToAVLevel"		"4.3"	
586	"SkuToAVLevel"	"8.2.0"	"4.4"	"8.2.0"
587	"SkuToAVLevel"	"8.3.0"	"4.5"	"8.3.0"
