Windows 10: How does a windowsXP VM on a windows11 OS get scanned by AV

I will be using windows XP VMvirtualbox on a windows11 computer. I use Simantec for AV and I know the latest version of Simantec is not compatible with WindowsXP. How will the AV scan the WindowsXP VM and the software that loaded in the VM?What AV do you recommend and is there an AV that will scan both Windows XP16bit and Windows1164bit?

How does a windowsXP VM on a windows11 OS get scanned by AV

I will be using windows XP VM(virtualbox) on a windows11 computer. I use Simantec for AV and I know the latest version of Simantec is not compatible with WindowsXP.

How will the AV scan the WindowsXP VM and the software that loaded in the VM?

What AV do you recommend and is there an AV that will scan both Windows XP(16bit) and Windows11(64bit)?

Hi, I'm Anvar, I'd be glad to help you today on this

Windows xp installed n VM is considered as another physical machine, it doesn't have any direct connection with windows 11 operating system

The antivirus installed in windows 11 cannot be used to scan the operating system on VM

Suggested solution is installing Antivirus on VM and Host (windows 11) Separately

There are antivirus solutions in market which still supports windows XP

Hope this helps.

 

Migrating On Prem VM to Azure

Hi Experts, We have a requirement of moving out VMs as is in Azure from Current On-Prem and the process we are following is

1. Create a RAW image from an on-prem VM.
   
2. Convert the RAW image to VHD.
   
3. Move the VHD file to Azure Storage.
   
4. Convert the Disks to managed disks.
   
5. Mount the OS disk to the C drive and other disks respectively.
   

Issue - Once we mount the OS disk we are not able to RDP to the machine we have followed the steps suggested in the below links and as usual there are millions of documents and none point in the right direction unfrotunately.

Links followed to figure out options to get this done -

Prepare a Windows VHD to upload to Azure - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Docs - Microsoft documentation.

Create a Windows VM from a specialized VHD in the Azure portal - Azure Virtual Machines - Microsoft documentation.

Upload a VHD to Azure and create a virtual machine - Stephanie Kahlam - Some helpful people created this and

We have tried options

1. Created image from managed disk and tried to initiate the VM and got exception as below
   Provisioning failed.
   OS Provisioning for VM 'demo-1' did not finish in the allotted time. However, the VM guest agent was detected running. This suggests the guest OS has not been properly prepared to be used as a VM image (with CreateOption=FromImage). To resolve this issue, either use the VHD as is with CreateOption=Attach or prepare it properly for use as an image:
   * Instructions for Windows: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-upload-image/
   * Instructions for Linux: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-capture-image/.
   
   
   and the suggested solution 1 to use CreateOption=Attach creates the VM but does not allow us to RDP to the machine so we are assuming it's not booting up. The other option suggested in the hyperlink is to create image using SysPrep which is not an option for us as we are performing a lift and shift.
   

I would like to get some guidance from experts on to the right process to follow.
