Can Windows reactivation be avoided during ESXi 6.7 to Promox migration?

I'm attempting to migrate several old Windows Server VMs from ESXi 6.7 to Proxmox and have done several test runs. Each server is detecting too many hardware changes so it's triggering Windows to lose its activation. I expect I'll be able to reactivate them but would prefer to avoid it, if possible.

I've done some searching but can't find any information about how to best prevent Windows from requiring reactivation. Is there a hardware config I can do in ESXi that will cause the least "hardware" changes during migration to Proxmox?
