Hi,

You can use the following free tools to convert a physical server to a Hyper-V virtual machine:

• Microsoft Disk2VHD https://aka.ms/disk2vhd. Creates a virtual disk file that can be attached to a virtual machine. The virtual machine needs to be created separately.
• StarWind V2V Converter https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter. It performs a single-click conversion directly into Hyper-V, so there is no need to do anything manually.

Good luck with your P2V virtualization project.

Hello, I have a similar problem, since I made a P2V with Disk2VHD version 1.5 I think, from a PC with Windows server 2003 R2, and I tried to place it in HyperV on a 2022 server. The problem I have is the blue screen, because it doesn't recognize the units and drivers. I've already done everything and found that it had to do with the architecture of the hyper v. If anyone could tell me how to perform the P2V migration and restore it correctly on the 2002 server, I would appreciate it
