Upgrading to another windows version will probably require a new license key. Going straight to 2025 is doable...but i think it's a little too much of a strech. Try to go with 2019-2022. Also you can't jump more than 2 versions from 2012R2 directly to 2022, you can go only to 2019 and then another in-place upgrade to 2022. Only 2025 allows upgrading from 2012R2 directly.

Why don't you upgrade the VM to Windows Server 2016 ??. It is possible to do an in-place upgrade from 12 to 16. Of course take a backup first.

@yannsionneau No problem.

@yannsionneau Yes it works with the stock packages.

Yes it does see it.
dmesg.txt
Passthrough was working and without that file from your repo.

@yannsionneau Reverted to stable and I upgraded only that package from your repo. VMs start now. At what should i look for now ?

@dinhngtu i've manage to fixed it. Your build adds some extra entries in /var/lib/xcp/state.db that aren't in the version from testing, that broke things when i downgraded the packages.
