Basic Question on Hyper-V Cloning

I have been tasked with deploying Windows 10 on Hyper-V on Windows 10 Enterprise for a small group of testers to use to test Office 365 environments. I ma fairly new at this. 

My predecessor had created a USB drive which contained the following:

1.  Windows 7 Base Image (sysprepped)

2.  An unattend.xml file

3.  An Executable that basically starts Batch Script which in turn starts a PowerShell script.  

4.  A folder containing a PowerShell and Batch script

The PowerShell script is pretty great:

It does a bunch of checks (usb drive name, proper cred's, windows 10 installed, verifies naming scheme with company policies) before checking for hyper-v and turning that on if missing.  It then creates a modified version of the pc name based on computer script is run on and adds VM.  Then is copies the template hard drive (#1 above) and the unattend.xml.  It then adds the user credentials provided by user to the unattend.  Next it mounts the hard drive and copies the modified unattend, and then dismounts drive.  A virtual switch is created, the hard drive is renamed according to naming standards, and the vm is created and started.  It works really, really well for the Windows 7 image.

I am trying to convert this to do the exact same thing for Windows 10 and having issues.  

I have a VM that is set up like I want and I sysprep it. I need to copy a VHDX file, but it seems to me that a avhdx file is created.

Where is the basic directions for doing this located?
