[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v4 12/16] api: update vm config: pin machine version when switching to windows os type

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

During virtual machine creation, the machine version is pinned when
the guest OS is Windows. The same should be done when the guest OS
type is newly set to Windows for consistency.
