The Hyper-V-to-Proxmox Migration

Move VMs from Hyper-V to Proxmox using qemu-img conversion and VirtIO driver injection, with a parallel-run period and tested rollback before cutover.

We migrate your existing VMs from Hyper-V to Proxmox, converting virtual disks with qemu-img and injecting VirtIO drivers so the migrated VMs boot and perform correctly under Proxmox's virtualization stack rather than crawling along on emulated hardware. A parallel-run period lets both environments coexist while you validate behavior, and a tested rollback plan is in place before cutover. Driver injection is the real variability in this migration — some Windows guests pick up VirtIO drivers cleanly, others need extra troubleshooting depending on the OS version and what's installed, and that troubleshooting time is the main reason estimates on Hyper-V migrations carry more uncertainty than a straightforward lift-and-shift. Scope and pricing follow the same logic as the VMware migration: effort scales with VM count and configuration complexity, and larger environments are quoted after we've seen an inventory. If driver issues surface mid-migration on a particular VM, that's worked through as part of the engagement rather than treated as a separate charge, provided it's within the scoped VM count.

FAQ

How fast is delivery?: Standard delivery is within 275 weekday hours (≈ 18 working days). Express delivery — within 165 weekday hours (≈ 11 working days) — costs 25% more.
What is the biggest risk in this migration?: Driver compatibility. VirtIO driver injection generally works cleanly, but some Windows guest configurations need extra troubleshooting — that variability is the main reason Hyper-V migrations carry more schedule uncertainty than a same-platform move.
Does pricing work the same as the VMware migration?: Yes — effort scales with VM count and configuration complexity, and larger environments are quoted once we've seen your VM inventory.
What if a specific VM will not boot after conversion?: Troubleshooting driver and boot issues on migrated VMs is part of the engagement, within the scoped VM count agreed at the start.
