In this article, we’ll tell you how to move a virtual machine from Hyper-V hypervisor to ProxmoxVE.

Nowadays, virtualization has become an integral part of IT infrastructure, and many companies use all kinds of hypervisors to launch their apps and services. Sometimes, users may need to move a virtual machine from one hypervisor to another. In this case, if you have a virtual machine working on Hyper-V and you would like to transfer it to Proxmox, you may need additional information about how to do it properly. Below, we will explore the steps you need to take to move a virtual machine successfully from Hyper-V to Proxmox.

Why you need to move a virtual machine?
There can be a few reasons to make you want to transfer a virtual machine from Hyper-V to Proxmox:

Transition to a different virtualization platform. If you have a virtual machine which you would like to run on a different virtualization platform, you may have to transfer the machine to that platform.
Better performance. If you notice that your virtual machine works too slowly or not too effectively on Hyper-V, moving it to Proxmox may improve the situation.
Software update. If you are planning to update your Proxmox or Hyper-V, you may need to transfer the virtual machine to a new platform.
Server failure. If one of the servers where the virtual machine is running suddenly breaks down, moving it to another server might be required to make sure that your work continues without any downtime.

In any of the cases I have listed, moving a virtual machine elsewhere could be the step you are required to take to preserve the system operability.
