"Reconfigure virtual machine" setting is ignored

I have a Win2k12R2 server where I am trying to ONLY convert the data drives. The boot/OS drive is not needed. Despite the fact that I have specifically unchecked "Reconfigure virtual machine", the converter attempts to reconfigure the VM and obviously fails as there is no OS volume.

Is this setting bugged? Is there some way to prevent the reconfiguration step from running?

Hm, this is quite surprising, I have used this setting and it worked as expected. Will try to reproduce it locally and will get back to you. BTW it would be useful if you can share the log bundle of the failed conversion task for analysis. You can send them to me as a private message if you do not want to post them publicly.
