I have a virtual environment running on VMware and I want to migrate my VMs to Hyper-V. What are the recommended steps and best practices for converting VMware VMs to Hyper-V? Are there any specific tools or utilities available to facilitate the migration process?

Additionally, are there any potential challenges or limitations that I should be aware of when performing this conversion? Any guidance or tips on successfully converting VMware VMs to Hyper-V would be highly appreciated.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Microsoft supports the solution of converting VMware virtual machines to Hyper-V virtual machines on SCVMM. You can refer to the following documents.

    What is Virtual Machine Manager? | Microsoft Learn

    System requirements for Virtual Machine Manager | Microsoft Learn

    Plan VMM installation | Microsoft Learn

    Set up VMware servers in the VMM compute fabric | Microsoft Learn

    Convert a VMware VM to Hyper-V in the VMM fabric | Microsoft Learn

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best regards

    Hey,

    StarWind V2V Converter can be used to migrate VMs directly from VMware ESXi (or other hypervisors) to Hyper-V. It is free to use: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter
