How to copy boot files from my Windows 11 C Drive to the VHDX Hyper V Drive?

Here are the methods to use BCDBOOT if that helps.

But I've seen Chris Titus Tech copy the boot files using bcdboot. I just need the commands.

You can't do it any other way as it needs to be a completely separate install. That would be just like copying the Windows folder to another drive and expecting to be able to boot to it. The VM needs its own separate registry, environment, and other configuration files. The only things the VM can share are some of the hardware platform and some of the data files.

More detailed up-to-date help will be available at Microsoft's Q & A Forums using the link I provided above.

I know that I can install it like that, I just want to do it another way. My PC Windows 11 doesn't meet requirements but I upgraded it. But I can't do it even in VM. Even with registri hacks. So how do I copy boot files from my Windows 11 C Drive to the VHDX Hyper V Drive?

Once you have created the Virtual Machine it is just like installing Windows on any other computer system.

This guide takes you through the entire process.

Hyper-V and Virtual Machines are Official Supported at Microsoft's Q & A Forums which are also Free. If you have detailed specific questions then it would be best to check in with them as they have access to resources that we do not for Hyper-V.
