which bios for win10 cirt machine

so im doing a weird thing where im passing a disk through and booting off of that and when selecting a bios in virt manager, i pick one of the UEFI options, but there's the option that says UEFI and then a few different choices for OVMF_CODE

i see OVMF_CODE.fd, OVMF_CODE.4m.fd, OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd, and OVMF_CODE.secboot.4m.fd

what are the differences?
which one should i be picking?
is this a decent place to ask? if not where should i be asking?

Re: which bios for win10 cirt machine

You want to use one of the "4m" ones (those have more NVRAM space and the smaller ones will be removed in the future). If you want Secure Boot support in the VM, then choose OVMF_CODE.secboot.4m.fd (mind that it won't contain any pre-enrolled certs), otherwise choose OVMF_CODE.4m.fd.
