Windows 10: how to backup an Hyper-v VM with Win 11?

I have Hyper-V installed on Win 11 and I'd like to schedule a full backup that could be restored!.I could export VM, but it's manual, not automatic!I'd read about Windows Server Backup, but I'm not sure I could get it on Win 11 ; I didn't succeeded to install it :-As my VM is Linux, I could make a system backup, that gives a .img, but after, I don' know what to do with it in Hyper-V

Hyper-V start error with Win 8.1 VM?

I have Hyper-V added to my Win 10 PRO ( version 1909 build 18363.476, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz, RAM 64.0 GB ) and had installed Win 8.1 as a VM. All was working well until this happened:





There were some unused vhdx drives which I deleted. I did delete the VMs through the Hyper-V console before removing the .vhdx files. Is that what cause the "mismatch"? Is this something that should NOT be done in Hyper-V?

Is there a way to repair this? Or, do I have to reinstall the Win 8.0 and all the upgrades to Win 8.1?

Thanks

 

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?

 

Move Hyper-V VM Without Reactivating?

According to this (How do I avoid needing to activate Windows when I move a VM? [Hyper-V]) link it is possible to move a Hyper V VM to a new host without having to reactivate the guest OS by exporting
it and importing it. Are there any additional steps I should know about or is it as simple as find the export and then import (on the new host) options/buttons?
