Hello,
I have a few virtual machines running in hyper-v. They were created as Gen 2 VM's with .VHDX drives. I need to convert these disks to .VHD so that they can be uploaded to Azure. It is easy enough to edit the disk in Hyper-V Manager and convert it to .VHD but when I do I encounter two problems.
1) I cannot use the .VHD in the existing virtual machine - I believe this has to do with Gen 2 machines only being able to use .VHDX. Not a big deal - I can recreate the machine as a Gen 1...
2) When the machine is recreated as a Gen 1 and the .VHD is attached the VM cannot boot. I am guessing that this has something to do with either partitioning or Secure Boot.
Can anyone assist with the steps that need to be done either before converting the VHDX or afterwards so that I can correct the boot issue ?
Thank you,
Matt
