Is it a .vhdx file? If not and it's for instance a .vmdk file, you need to convert it.

While creating a new VM, did you select the correct generation?

| Operating system versions | Generation 1 | Generation 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu 14.04 and later versions | ✔ | ✔ |
| Ubuntu 12.04 | ✔ | ✖ |
Did you EXPORT the VM from the original host? Or did you just copy a folder? Exporting gets all the configuration files; VHDX/AVHDX files are important - they're the data, but the configuration files are just as important, especially when you have AVHDX (snapshots).
