I am trying to move a Windows 10 VM from an older Windows 10 PC to a more recent one. I am not doing a Live migration. I exported the VM on the older box and copied the resultant folder to the newer PC. When I start the import, I get an error that says...
"The virtual machine [NAME] is using processor-specific-features not supported on physical computer [NAME]. To allow for migration of this virtual machine to physical computers with different processors, modify the virtual machine settings to limit the processor feature used by the virtual machine."
I have three saved states and this error is repeated for the other two states as well. It gives me an option to delete the saved states or cancel. I enabled the CPU compatibility option for the VM and then re-exported and imported but it doesn't help. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks this works for me. really appreciate for the article
Hi Alex. Is that tool run on the Hosts? The VM in question is an image. I don't want to run software on images. They always leave remnants that get propagated to every machine the image is used on.

Hi,
As in the above example, the first screenshot is from guest OS (virtual machine) and the second one is from host OS (hyper-v host) and we plan do a comparison. The free tool is not requried to be installed. Just copy it into the guest OS and run it, if we do not need it any more, delete it. Or, we can make a copy of the image before we make any changes, even if just copying some files.

Hi Alex. So the difference is the VM running on the old HOST has the HTT (CPU Multi-Threading Capability)... as reported by HWiNFO. The new HOST PC does not have this.
I disabled Hyper-threading in the BIOS but HWiNFO still shows HTT green on the old HOST.

Hi Alex. Do you have anymore info that may assist with this?

I have experienced this problem when Windows updates installed the below updates on my Hyper-V Host. Had to uninstall the KB updates to bring my VMs back to life.
I didn't have any issues with my original host PC and Windows updates. It was only importing a VM from that host to a new host that failed.
