If i have a windows 10 kvm guest (with spice stuff installed) made in Proxmox and I have another similar kvm guest but on a Centos PC made with libvirt and virt manager, are they both cross compatible?

Proxmox uses raw as default vm disk file, while libvirt uses qcow2 as i can see. Both Proxmox and libvirt support both file types. But can there be further differences in how Proxmox and libvirt create virtual guests? Or are they just well interchangable?

Same doubt for other kvm guests such as Linux ones.

Thanks beforehand.
