Convert Bare Metal Windows Server 2016 to Proxmox VM (alien.top)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Like the title says I am trying to convert a bare metal install of Server 2016 to a Proxmox VM.

So far I have backups of the Windows server (.vhdx) and I have converted them to .raw and imported them to the VM. However when I try to start the VM I get a no bootable device found and it goes into the EFI shell.

Is there an easier way?

Is boot drive selected in the boot order? Probably yes, but just to check. You can also try using Starwinds free converter: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter to convert the disks to raw or qcow2.
