Windows 7 to 10 Upgrade fails

I'm trying to update some Windows 7 VMs before the free upgrade period ends. It appears Windows 10 has an issue with KVM during the upgrade, and according to this thread, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2289210&p=13334367#post13334367 , you need to specify the CPU type as core2duo for the VM, perform the upgrade, then switch it back. Is there anyway with ovirt to set the CPU type to core2duo for a single VM without having to shutdown the entire cluster, change it for the cluster, do the upgrades, then change it all back? Thank you

Core2Duo corresponds to the Intel Penryn Family - If you have your cluster on Conroe you’d have to create a new cluster with the Intel Penryn Family CPU Type, add a host to that new cluster and then change the VM you would like to upgrade to that new cluster. Otherwise that shouldn’t be a big problem, except that you might want to also change already the OS type in the VM Configuration to Windows 10 (With the correct architecture) HTH,
Thank you
