Hyper-V Migration
From Hyper-V to Proxmox - out of the licensing spiral
The free Hyper-V Server is history, Windows Server 2025 is licensed per core. We plan and migrate your Hyper-V environment to Proxmox VE - including Windows guests, VirtIO drivers and activation.
No more free Hyper-VVHDX import without detoursEnd-to-end by WZ-IT
Leading companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
The following are trademarks of their respective owners: Proxmox VE (Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH). WZ-IT is an independent service provider and has no business, partnership, or contractual relationship with these companies. We offer independent migration, installation, hosting, and operations services.
Why companies are switching from Hyper-V to Proxmox now
The trigger is rarely the technology - it is the licensing model. Three reasons we see in projects again and again.
No more free Hyper-V
The free Microsoft Hyper-V Server last shipped as version 2019 - mainstream support ended on January 9, 2024, extended support runs until January 9, 2029. For Windows Server 2022 and 2025 there is no comparable free product anymore.
Per-core licensing as a hypervisor tax
Windows Server 2025 is licensed per core - at least 8 core licenses per processor, at least 16 per server. As a hypervisor host, Windows therefore costs money even if only Linux VMs run on it. Proxmox VE runs without host license costs (AGPLv3), a subscription is optional.
Open ecosystem instead of lock-in
Proxmox ships with integrated backups via Proxmox Backup Server, is fully transparent as an open platform and does not tie you to any vendor - your environment stays portable at all times.
To be fair: the Hyper-V role in Windows Server 2022 and 2025 is not discontinued - Microsoft actively develops it further, for example with GPU partitioning and support for up to 4 PB of RAM. The switch is a cost and strategy question: the free path is gone, and whoever keeps using the role licenses the host as Windows Server.
The licensing math: what really goes away when you switch
We do not promise blanket percentages - your savings follow from the core count of your hosts. The mechanics behind it are unambiguous though.
2019
Last free Hyper-V Server
The free Microsoft Hyper-V Server last shipped as version 2019. There is no free equivalent for Windows Server 2022 and 2025 anymore - anyone who wants to keep running the hypervisor free of charge has to switch platforms.
8 / 16
Windows Server 2025: per-core minimum
Windows Server 2025 is licensed per core - at least 8 core licenses per processor, at least 16 per server. As a hypervisor host, Windows therefore always costs money, even if it exclusively runs Linux VMs.
AGPLv3
Proxmox VE: no host license costs
Proxmox VE is open source under the AGPLv3 and runs without host license costs - a subscription is optional. The per-core math for the hypervisor is eliminated entirely.
To be fair: your Windows guests still need valid Windows Server licenses on Proxmox. What goes away is the license for the hypervisor host - not the guest licenses.
How to license Windows Server on ProxmoxThe migration process
Four steps from the Hyper-V inventory to the cutover - technically clean, with a rollback option and without surprises.
1
Inventory & target design
VM list with generation 1/2, dependencies, resource requirements and license check: what runs where, what can move when, and how are Windows guests licensed correctly on Proxmox?
Licensing Windows Server on Proxmox2
Proxmox target environment
Cluster and storage design based on your baseline (ZFS or Ceph), network and Proxmox Backup Server - including vTPM preparation for Windows 11 guests.
3
VM move
We import VHDX disks directly - QEMU reads the format natively, no separate conversion is needed. Gen 1 VMs get SeaBIOS, Gen 2 VMs get OVMF (UEFI). Windows guests receive VirtIO drivers including switching the boot disk to VirtIO SCSI, BitLocker is suspended beforehand and activation is moved from AVMA to KMS or MAK.

Cutover & follow-up
Test boot per VM, defined rollback window to the Hyper-V estate, onboarding to our monitoring and orderly decommissioning of the old environment.
The Hyper-V pre-migration checklist
Ten points we tick off per VM before every cutover - Hyper-V-specific instead of generic. This is exactly where it is decided whether the test boot succeeds on the first try.
1
Gen 1/Gen 2 inventory per VM
The VM generation determines the firmware mapping on Proxmox: generation 1 boots with SeaBIOS, generation 2 with OVMF (UEFI).
2
Merge checkpoints
Open checkpoints leave AVHDX differencing chains behind. Before the export we merge them fully back into the base VHDX so that a consistent disk moves over.
3
Identify AVMA-activated guests
AVMA only works with a Hyper-V host. These guests need KMS or MAK activation on Proxmox and are flagged in advance.
4
Capture BitLocker VMs
Back up recovery keys and suspend BitLocker with -RebootCount 0 so the suspension survives reboots until the vTPM is set up on Proxmox.
5
Failover cluster & CSV dependencies
Which VMs run as cluster roles, which disks live on Cluster Shared Volumes? This determines the target architecture and the migration order.
6
Document static IPs & MAC dependencies
On Proxmox the virtual NIC gets a new MAC address by default. DHCP reservations, license bindings and firewall rules tied to the MAC are captured beforehand.
7
Clarify vTPM requirements
Windows 11 strictly requires a TPM, and we plan the vTPM for Windows Server 2025 guests right away as well - including a tpmstate volume per VM.
8
Check Windows licenses
Reconcile the core count of the target nodes against the existing Windows Server licenses - the guests remain license-liable, only the host license goes away.
9
Backup state before the cutover
Immediately before each move there is a complete, verified backup of the VM - independent of the rollback option to the Hyper-V estate.
10
Maintenance window per VM wave
The order follows the dependencies. Each window is coordinated with the business units and gets a defined rollback point.
Each point is documented per VM and forms part of our migration log - including a rollback point per wave.
Hyper-V vs. Proxmox for the mid-market
Both hypervisors are technically mature - the differences lie in the licensing model, backup integration and openness.
| Hyper-V (Windows Server) | Proxmox VE | |
|---|---|---|
| Host license costs | Windows Server core licenses for the host (min. 16 cores per server) | No license costs (open source, AGPLv3), subscription optional |
| Backup | Third-party ecosystem required | Proxmox Backup Server integrated - incl. deduplication and verification |
| Managing multiple hosts | SCVMM or Windows Admin Center | Integrated cluster management, plus Proxmox Datacenter Manager |
| Linux workloads | Supported as a guest | Native KVM foundation - Linux runs first class |
| Openness | Proprietary (Microsoft) | Open source (AGPLv3), fully auditable |
As of July 2026. Licensing details are governed by the current Microsoft Product Terms. WZ-IT is an independent service provider.
Reference architectures: your Proxmox target design
Three proven target designs we map Hyper-V estates to in projects - from a single host to replacing the failover cluster.
Entry
Single host replacement
1 Hyper-V host1 Proxmox VE node
- ZFS as local storage with snapshots and compression
- Proxmox Backup Server as a separate backup target
- A clean move for small environments without HA requirements
No HA - resilience comes from backup & restore via PBS.
Recommended
3-node HA cluster
Multiple Hyper-V hosts3 Proxmox nodes with HA
- Ceph from 3 nodes (10GbE recommended) or ZFS replication between the nodes
- Quorum across 3 nodes - a 2-node cluster needs a QDevice as external quorum
- Live migration and automatic VM restart on node failure
Our recommended standard for production workloads with HA requirements.
Cluster replacement
Failover cluster replacement
Windows failover cluster with CSVProxmox cluster with Ceph/shared storage
- Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) are replaced by Ceph or shared storage (NFS/iSCSI)
- Cluster roles from the Windows failover cluster become Proxmox HA resources
- Migration in waves - VM by VM from the Windows cluster to the Proxmox cluster
The Windows cluster remains as a rollback layer until sign-off.
Windows guests are our daily business
A Hyper-V migration is above all a Windows migration. The pitfalls are in the details - and that is exactly where we work every day:
- VirtIO SCSI single with IO thread, NetKVM, Balloon and QEMU guest agent following PVE best practice
- Boot disk switch to VirtIO SCSI without a bluescreen - the classic driver trap with Windows guests
- VirtIO drivers from the official virtio-win ISO, cleanly selected per Windows version
- vTPM for Windows 11 including BitLocker handling, as the TPM state does not travel along
- CPU type selection: x86-64-v2-AES as default, "host" for maximum performance in a homogeneous cluster
- Activation via KMS or MAK instead of AVMA - switched over right in the migration step
Licensing clarified, operations covered
Our guide to Windows Server licensing on Proxmox clarifies the host licensing question. And after the migration, we continue to operate your environment on request - as Managed Proxmox from €179.90 per node per month, including monitoring, updates and backup verification.

That depends on the number of VMs, data volume and dependencies. Small environments with a handful of VMs are typically migrated within a few days, larger estates in staggered waves over several weeks. After the inventory you receive a concrete schedule per VM - including maintenance windows and rollback points.
A short maintenance window per VM cannot be avoided entirely: the VM is shut down, the VHDX disk is transferred and imported, followed by the test boot on Proxmox. The window is plannable and limited per VM though - we migrate critical systems in stages outside your core hours, and the Hyper-V estate remains as a rollback option until the VM is signed off on Proxmox.
Your Windows and application licenses inside the guests generally remain valid - what changes is the host level: instead of a license-liable Windows Server host, Proxmox VE runs underneath in the future. How Windows Server guests are licensed correctly on Proxmox is explained in our guide "Licensing Windows Server on Proxmox". Important: we cover the technical side - this does not replace legal advice on licensing.
Yes. Windows 11 strictly requires a TPM, and Proxmox provides a virtual TPM (vTPM) via a tpmstate volume. However, the TPM state cannot be taken over from the source hypervisor - which is why we suspend or decrypt BitLocker before the migration and re-enable it on Proxmox afterwards.
AVMA requires a Datacenter host with the Hyper-V role enabled and, according to Microsoft, does not work with other virtualization technologies - so this path is gone on Proxmox. Instead, you activate via KMS (platform-independent, activation threshold of 5 servers, renewal every 180 days) or via MAK or retail keys. We switch the activation over as part of the migration.
Technically both play in the same league - the difference lies in the licensing model and ecosystem. Hyper-V has been discontinued as a free standalone hypervisor and is tied to per-core Windows Server licensing; Proxmox VE is open source and ships clustering, live migration, backup (PBS) and software-defined storage without a license wall. For Windows-heavy environments with a strong Microsoft stack, Hyper-V can still be a fit - if you want to reduce license costs and vendor lock-in, Proxmox is usually the better choice.
No. Proxmox VE is a standalone type 1 hypervisor based on Debian Linux with KVM/QEMU - Hyper-V is neither required nor installed. Hyper-V VMs are converted to the Proxmox format during migration: Proxmox imports the VHDX disks directly, and the VM configuration (generation, firmware, vTPM) is mapped to its Proxmox counterparts.
The Proxmox HA stack takes over the duties of the Windows failover cluster: VMs are defined as HA resources and automatically restart on another node if a node fails. Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) are replaced by Ceph or other shared storage (NFS/iSCSI). For Ceph we plan at least 3 nodes and a 10GbE network; in a 2-node cluster a QDevice secures the quorum.
Yes, coexistence is actually the normal case: the Proxmox environment is built alongside the Hyper-V estate, both platforms run in the same network, and the VMs move in planned waves. For each wave the Hyper-V estate remains as a rollback option until the VMs are signed off on Proxmox. This spreads the risk and avoids a big-bang cutover.
There is no 1:1 equivalent of SCVMM - we say that honestly. In practice, the integrated Proxmox web interface covers managing a cluster (VMs, storage, network, HA, backups), and the Proxmox Datacenter Manager is added for multiple clusters. Specific SCVMM features such as service templates can be reproduced via the Proxmox API and automation where needed - the inventory clarifies what is actually required.
The maintenance window is essentially determined by the size of the VHDX disks and the transfer path - the copy process dominates. The procedure per VM is always the same: shut down, transfer and import the disk, install VirtIO drivers, test boot. After the inventory you receive a concrete window per VM instead of a blanket estimate.
We price the migration effort individually after the inventory - it depends on the number of VMs, data volume and special cases such as failover clusters or BitLocker. Operations afterwards are predictable: Managed Proxmox starts at €179.90 per node per month, including monitoring, updates and backup verification. At the same time, the Windows Server license for the hypervisor host is eliminated.
Yes. The hypervisor switch does not change your IP design - the VMs keep their addresses. One thing to note: on Proxmox the virtual NIC gets a new MAC address by default, and Windows creates a separate adapter profile for the new VirtIO NIC. We therefore re-bind statically configured IPs to the adapter during the cutover, and adjust DHCP reservations and MAC-bound rules (firewall, license servers) along the way.
Yes. On request, your environment transitions directly into managed operations after the cutover: 24/7 monitoring via our Zabbix cluster, updates in maintenance windows, backup verification with Proxmox Backup Server and fixed response times. That way there is never a moment when nobody feels responsible.
