After presenting my modified ISO in the German forum section some time ago, the optimized version is now available in English.
Since I came up with the method for migration with minimal downtime, I have more good news today.
It is possible to install the Virtio drivers in advance so that Windows can boot directly from VirtIO SCSI after migration. To make it a little easier for everyone, I modified a virtio ISO and stored an installation batch file there.
The install.bat must be run as an administrator, and I also modify the SAN policy so that additional disks in Windows come online after the migration.
Please skip this step if the VM is part of an MS failover cluster.

Happy migrations!
