    Unassign Hyper V VM with deleted User account

    Hyper V is not assigned based on user accounts.

    Hyper V is a server feature that allows you to create VMs but they are not assigned to users.

    Can you post a screenshot of what you are referring to?

    And then share on a cloud drive and post link here for me to look at?

    Also what are the steps you are doing to "assign" the VM to another User?

    External Drive not detected in Hyper-V VM

    Unable to Import a Hyper-V VM

    I built a VM using

    Hyper-V Manager: 10.0.26200.5001

    Mangement Consol 3.0

    Version 24H2 (OS Build 26200.5001)

    I am unable to import it onto another system with:

    Hyper-V Manager: 10.0.22621.1

    Management Console 3.0

    Version 23H2 (OS Build 22635.3566)

    When I navigate to the folder with the VM, it show no VMs available.

    Is there a way to import the VM built using the newer Hyper-V manager version into the older Hyper-V manager? If not, how do I update the Hyper-V Manager to the same version as the version of Hyper-V Manager that I built the VMs with?
