Yes, but you have to be careful of the virtual machine version, because later virtual machine versions are not compatible with 2012 R2, only 2016.<br />
<br />
if the virtual machine version is the same e.g. 5.0, export and import will work.<br />
<br />
so here<br />

10 will have newer versions that are impossible to import on 2012. Only if you imported the machine to 10 (so it was created on a downlevel OS, before) OR if it was created on the command line using New-VM together with the -version switch, will you have a VM with a version that 2012 understands.

What about If I create a new VM in Windows 2012 R2 and attach the VHDX that have been created in Windows 10 ?<br />
Will it work ?

You can create the VM on your Windows Server 2012 server and, you can select the disks of the VM that you created in windows 10 and connect them to the new VM that you created in WS2012. As long as you validate the compatibility versions.

Migrate Hyper V Vm from Windows 10 to Win 2012 R2

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.

Virtualization

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

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.
