How to Export and Import Hyper-V Virtual Machines

Hyper-V Export is the process of exporting a selected VM, including its virtual hard disk files, VM configuration files, and Hyper-V snapshots, to a single unit. This operation can be performed when the VM is either online or offline. In earlier Windows versions (prior to Windows Server 2012), you could export Hyper-V VMs only when they were turned off. Hyper-V Export can be performed only on an on-demand basis.

Hyper-V Import allows you to recover selected VMs which you previously exported from a set of configuration files. Hyper-V VMs can be imported to a source Hyper-V host or a new one. Previously, Hyper-V Import had to be preceded by Hyper-V Export. However, starting from Windows Server 2012 R2, you can now import Hyper-V VMs without having previously exported them. When performing Hyper-V Import, the VM gets registered with the Hyper-V host.

Hello sir, please i need a guide how to setup hyper v and setup windows iso to it

[tirtha]

I want to do a P2V migration where a windows 11 system is to be converted to a virtual machine which will be hosted on a different windows system with different set of hardware.

Now the catch is the Virtual machine should think its on the exact same hardware as in the physical system. It should show exact same information in system information as in the physical system.

If we do a 'wmic bios get serialnumber' the result should be same on both systems.

Not looking for any registry hacks like changing string values in



.vmx editing will have limited scope, as i need to emulate the processor motherboard everything

I tried editing the vmware bios rom file there also limited strings can be changed like mothorboad version vendor etc. How do i emulate the gpu harddisk vendor etc?

looking for some sort of hardware emulation/virtualization. I am not expecting same hardware capability just that the OS should 'think' its on the same hardware. if we go under device manager disk drives/mouse it should not show vmware or virtual box, rather show the name of the disk/mouse as in the physical system.

again this should not be some registry string modification, rather the OS should 'think' its on the simulated hardware

Possible?
