We've not used this method in a long time since running the process indicated by Andrew only takes a few minutes on the all-flash servers we normally deploy now.<br />

Thanks Andrew, however when I try starting the imported ISO in Hyper V I get errors regarding that it can't find a boot loadable error.. <br />
<br />

The boot loader did not load an operating system

Create VHDX from ISO

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

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.
