Hi Team,
I am trying to migrate the Hyper-V Generation 2 VM (windows server 2016, 2019 OS) to VMWare. I have used StarWind and Vmware Vcenter converter standalone apps to convert to VMDK files and imported them to WorkStation. The VMs are fine, connected, and looks good when I selected Firmware type as UEFI. However when I Changed to firmware type to BIOS it failing to load the "Operating system not found". I am guessing It is not a VMware issue, but I am wondering do we have any solution to work as BIOS in WorkStation or change to firmware type as BIOS in Hyper-v generation VM.
Thanks
Samba
If the VM is fine and looks OK, why do you want to change the firmware from UEFI to BIOS? If you do have a very specific reason for changing it I would do it before the migration to VMware. But even then, this is not very easy.
Thanks for your reply. We are planning to move Oracle cloud, they support BIOS only.
You are correct this is not a VMware issue at all. This is the Windows bootloader working very differently between UEFi and Legacy (BIOS). Google is your friend.
