3.1 is the latest. (or was the latest!).<br />
<br />
Strange, 3.0 now seems to be the latest!<br />
<br />
They must have pulled 3.1!

Strange, 3.0 now seems to be the latest!

They must have pulled 3.1!

<div>
The only issue is that it seems MS has pulled the 3.1 version and went back to 3.0 version. We don't know why currently.

I have an immediate need to convert a VM from ESX to MS Hyper-V. As I have never done this, &nbsp;I am looking for assistance before I cause myself great heartache. Know there are converts out there, as I searched Google. Would appreciate advice on what to use and what to avoid. This VM is in a domain and must remain that way after conversion, as I don't have the admin rights to take in and out of the company domain. &nbsp;Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Convert ESX VM to Hyper-V

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.

Hyper-V

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
