Migrated Windows Server 2012R2 VM from Hyper-V to Proxmox does not boot

[PsYcRo]

you need to re-use the small empty efi disk , it's needed by proxmox to store uefi bios settings like boot order and resolution.
it contains pre-enrolled keys else Windows Update cannot apply updates (since few months).

And where is this disk? I can see when I follow this wiki:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/OVMF/UEFI_Boot_Entries

That I can add another boot option with a efi file but this is not saved after a reset.

i see two unused vDisks on your screenshot, i don't know if you can edit to set as efi disk else add New efi disk from top button of Hardware of the VM

One of the unused disks is the one empty created with the creation of the VM and the other one with ~300GB is the partition D of the Hyper-V Windows 10

So I tried it now again with different approches like this:

then I see this disk:

Then there is the following structure <EFI> --> Microsoft and Boot --> tried all *.efi (Windows: bootmgfw.efi and bootmgr.efi Boot: bootx64.efi). Set the desctiption then commit changes and exit. Then as written in the wiki Changed the order and again commit changes and Exit and the standard procedure begins again. Nothing is saved from my changes and it tries all PXE boots and halts in the efi internall shell:



I am really end of my knowledge whats causing the issue.

repost your current vm config
irrc, you don't need to add boot option if you can boot manually from boot menu.

Here is the latest config:

EFI disk needed to save bios settings in OVMF (UEFI) mode
That disk is not the bootable disk ...

So you suggest me to add a efi disk and then my settings are saved which are done in the UEFI from that VM?
Added this disk and again same issue with first pxe boot and then stuck at efi shell

what about your Options screenshot ?

 

[PsYcRo]

what about your Options screenshot ?

Which Options? You mean when I add the efi disk what options I have there. I connected to the original Hyper-V machine and can see this there:

sorry, "Options" of the VM Proxmox, to check boot order as written in post #18

Omg this was it. There was only the net set and then boot drive as second device and not selected. Now the system boots without any problems:

But how I can add now the Partition D into that VM? I have tried it as ide/sata/scsi and it always shows me the disk as raw and I should format it:

qm importdisk 102 Graphisoft.vhdx local-lvm

Reattached the original external SSD and issued following:
