HyperV Machine Export

  1. Shutdown VM and compress the compact the disks
  2. Check if you have enough space: you need more or less the space of the VM disks+ minimal RAM configured
  3. From your Hyper-V host, run PowerShell as an administrator and then run something like:
    GET-VM
    This will display all the VMs running on the current host.
  4. Then run:
    $ExportPath = “C:\Exports”
    Export-VM -Name “BoxNameFromGetVM Step3” -Path $ExportPath
