Virtual PC (VPC) to Hyper-V Post Conversion Tasks

|Hyper-V, Microsoft

Here are some tasks to perform after converting/migrating a Microsoft Virtual PC (VPC) to Hyper-V:

  1. Remove the old VPC virtual machine additions and reboot.
  2. Install the Hyper-V Integration Services (do not reboot).
  3. Start > Run:  msconfig
  4. Boot tab, then Advanced Options
  5. Check Detect HAL
  6. Click OK twice to close the System Configuration window
  7. Reboot

Optional

First, take a snapshot of the VM.  Then open an Administrative Command Prompt in the VM and run the following commands:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
devmgmt.msc

In Device Manager, choose View > Show Hidden Devices, and then remove items that are greyed out (at your own risk).
