Hello everyone,

I’m currently in the process of migrating a virtual machine from ESXi to Hyper-V, but it seems that the conversion tool only allows the creation of a Generation 1 VM in Hyper-V. Is this the case, or is there a method to convert the VM to a Generation 2 Hyper-V machine instead?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

It depends on what boot option is specified for the VM.
You can convert the VM disks and recreate the VM manually. You can also do it as p2v conversion from inside the VM.
