Migrate Windows from Hyper-V to PVE

[PawelGrzeda]

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate Windows Server 2016 from Hyper-V to Proxmox. I copy the vhdx disk file, convert it to qcow2/raw but when I try to boot it doesn't work. Guest can't find bootable hard disk. When I boot Win2k16 DVD and add virtio scsi driver I can see expected Windows partition scheme. Also the qemu-img test gives no errors. I guess that at first I need to prepare the guest Windows when still running on Hyper-V. How to do this? Is there way to add virtio drivers there?

Best way is to boot with ide controller, add an temporary extradisk (like 1GB) with virtio, add the driver in windows device manager , then remove extra disk, and change main disk from ide to virtio.
