    Upgrading a VM Windows instance in Hyper-V


    I am running Win 11, and have a Win 10 VM in Hyper-V that I am trying to upgrade to the most recent Win 10 version. Windows Update has run once happily and installed a bunch of updates, but now has found 2023-01 Cumulative Win 10 Update KB502282, has downloaded it and is repeatedly trying to install it but keeps gets stuck at around 20%.Any ideas?

    :)

    Exporting VM with hyper-v


    Exporting a Hyper-V vm keeps everything, GUID always remains the same, original. It's the importing that determines if old GUID and for instance activation will be kept or not.

    If imported registering vm in-place or restoring vm, GUID is kept (green highlight in screenshot below). If importing copying vm a new GUID will be created (red highlight). See tutorial Method One Step 6 for explanation for these three import methods: Hyper-V Virtual Machine - Import in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    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?
