      Why would it take 30 minutes to boot a Windows ESXi 8.0.3 imported VM in XOA on the first boot?

        Did you remove the ESXi drivers from the VM before migrating it to XCP-ng?

          sysprep on windows is also sometimes required, but will require that you reactive the OS with it's product key.

                @firefly because the underlying hardware that the VM has registered has likely changed, maybe substantially.

                A sysprep has the Windows system go through and validate what it's hardware is, it removes hardware specific drivers namely, but it does other stuff too.
