VMware Converter - Hyper V 2016 Differencing Disks

Hi

Does anyone know if the latest version of VMware Converter supports migrating Hyper V 2016 differencing disks to VMware 6.7 or would the differencing disks require inflating to their full size for each VM prior to migration ?

Hi ARomeo,

Thanks for the guide, I have had a look through this article but this doesn't mention Hyper V differencing disks.

Is this something that you have experience of migrating using VMware Converter ?

Use the Converter option to import a running system - then the specs of the HyperVM should not matter.
