PVE 7.1, Windows 10 OVF import.,,,dreaded BSOD

[litewait]

Really want to go with Proxmox, but very worried I'll never figure out this BSOD from a Huge VMWare Fusion OVF export of Windows 10 VM. Only thing critical to my work as I have to support old Windows applications :-(

• ovftool worked fine
• import appeared to work fine
• changed disk type to sata as instructed (doesn't seem to matter)
• changed bios to uefi and it boots into the uefi manager
• changed it back to seabios and windows starts to boot

Fails with BSOD "Your device ran into a problem..." "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" "prl pv64.sys"

Any ideas? Fresh install for Windows 10 from USB seems to work, but it's critical I get the OVF working, I've got piles of out-dated .Net C# libraries I can never recreate from vendors that have ceased to exist. No idea how to boot safe mode as F8 doesn't work either.

No idea how to boot safe mode as F8 doesn't work either. Tried attaching as IDE, same issue. *sigh*

I've tried everything. Without safe mode I can't prove its a driver issue or debug this further. So utterly sad I have to move on to ESXI to get this stupid VM to boot.
