      Also don't try to restore from backup. The backup is expecting to be restored into a Hyper-V environment. You need to migrate the VM from the one platform into another.

      Unless you have block level restore with your backup appliance, were you can restore to dissimilar hardware. I'd go with the process I recommended above.

        The backup i was restoring is a Windows Backup.
        I have already tried exporting the VM into VHD (the source file is vhdx).

        The problem i keep receiving is the stop 0X7B which if not mistaking points to the hardware changes

          Yeah... you'd almost never want to use Windows Backup to move to a different hypervisor.

          Simply shutdown the VM, use the built in Export functions of hyper-v and then import the file into XS.

            @DustinB3403 Tried that already.

            The only export function Hyper-V gives me is to convert vhdx to vhd. Which leaves me only with the option of taking the VHD into Xen.

            Upon booting i get the STOP error

              And while you can use Windows Backup you need to have dissimilar hardware checked before the backup is made.

                What version of Hyper-V are you using, 2008?

                  For Hyper-V you can use Veeam Free to backup the VM, which might help to address the stop error.

                  What error message are you receiving exactly?

                      Oh 2012r2 gees... haha you can use powershell to export the VM into OVF. This guide here should help to do the trick.

                      I'd still be interested to know what error you're getting exactly.

                        The 7B BSOD error appears to driver related.

                        I think @dashrender had similar issues with his VM's and had to mount the drives to edit the registry.

                            @Lennertgenbr ok so the drivers are bugged within the VM. you'd have to either fix the issues as outlined above.

                            I assume this is with using the "Windows Backup" that you're attempting to restore, correct?

                              @DustinB3403 It is when using windows backup AND when using the Hyper-V export function

                                @Lennertgenbr Can you try disabling the Hyper-V services within the VM, and then shutdown and export the VM.

                                What OS is the VM running?

                                  @DustinB3403 I have already disabled the Hyper-V integrated services. The VM is running s2008r2

                                    Maybe try another backup solution to create a image you can import.

                                    If the hyper-v drivers are disabled, and you're exporting what should be a clean VM and still having issues something else is going on.

                                    I'd try Veeam free from your host to create a backup of the VM.

                                      @DustinB3403 By hyper-v drivers, do you mean the integration services? Or explicit hyper-v drivers?

                                        Starwind also has a conversion tool specifically for V2V conversions.
