P2V - best approach

[clsmoreira]

Hello everyone.

What is the best approach to virtualize physical Windows machines (P2V) to Hyper-V?
What worries me most is the risk of the VM not starting and becoming unstable due to driver issues, etc.

- Disk2VHD and manual VM creation associating the created VHD/VHDX.
- Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and then manually creating a Hyper-V VM, starting with a bootable ISO, and restoring the backup.
- Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows > VBR to create VM and restore backup.
- StarWind V2V converter (Free)?

Will these 3 methods yield the same results, or is there one that is more effective and has fewer problems?
What is your experience?
Thank you.

Hello! Using VBR to instantly recover VAW backup to a Hyper-V VM is the best approach as you will know immediately if V2V conversion was successful or not (as opposed to hours later classic restore or conversion takes). Thanks
