@AlexanderK VMWare setup had UEFI BIOS, when I'm portable on my laptop I use Hyper-V built into Win10Pro, it also uses UEFI / Gen2, in XCP-ng I tried both BIOS and UEFI settings. BIOS doesn't boot, checked just for the record. UEFI booting works, but UEFI+Nested-V doesn't (causes Win10 to troubleshoot itself). So it doesn't seem like partition recognition problem, it feels like Windows + Virtual Hardware to me (but may be UEFI image also matters, in my experience in different envs yes it might).

Hello, just decided to also share my experience with this. This specific topic seems to be the closest on point.

I'm developer and yes, Win/Docker is my setup. In order to upgrade my hardware transparently I use VMs as more power is required, so that's my case.

I'm moving from VMWare recently (free ESXi 6.5 restrictions on 8 vCPUs is starting to be significant), so I'm exploring my options. XCP-ng has my sympaties because of the best import/export comparing to others, so it was my first hypervisor to try moving to.

I successfully converted the image and, as expected, without Nested V checkbox in Xen Orchestra, Hyper-V Driver in Windows wan't active.

But when I enable Nested-V - I'm not even able to boot. It's the kind of boot failure that different BIOS would help to boot. But there is no other BIOS except UEFI (I mean, single UEFI and no other UEFIs, others don't work anyway).
So technically, I can't say whether Hyper-V would work if machine booted.

After that I moved to Proxmox, for which I had to specify specific BIOS (OVMF) to boot my image (so yes, it might matter). Regarding Nested-V all I had to do in Proxmox is to specify CPU:host to make it work. Which proves it is possible in KVM.

I'm trying to make a point that this topic is still important, and apart from Hyper-V itself ability to boot VM images from other hypervisors is also important, so more BIOSes or startup settings might be required.

My sympathies are still with XCP-ng because of the import/export features, they really help (and yes, kudos to XOA April 2022 release with the additional formats). If you're importing/exporting from Proxmox, be prepared to SSH/WinSCP all the time, have reserved about x1.5 of Thick VM disk size on Proxmox server or some local one where you make a conversion (but download 200G+ to your local machine first lol). I'll be back on XCP-ng as long this will be claimed as working.
