Issue:
https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/CNV-92898

Link to docs preview:
https://115615--ocpdocs-pr.netlify.app/openshift-enterprise/latest/virt/creating_vms_advanced/virt-creating-vms-uploading-images.html#additional-resources_virt-creating-vms-uploading-images

QE review:

  • QE has approved this change.

Additional information:

  • Added sentence to IMPORTANT box directing users to download VirtIO drivers only from official Red Hat sources, because customers were using unapproved drivers and experiencing issues
  • Added link to the Red Hat VirtIO drivers download page in Additional resources because users need a direct path to the approved drivers
  • Added link to KCS article on installing and updating VirtIO drivers for Windows VMs in Additional resources for supplemental guidance
  • Fixed pre-existing missing {nbsp} in "Red Hat" references to match style conventions

Maybe in the "important" box
Point or link to the "Additional resources" - saying - "see the additional resources paragraph where to get the drivers"

@dgur thanks for the feedback, i've added a "see additional resources..." after mentioning the virtio drivers. we can't use links per our guidelines, but it is now at least referenced 👍
