Just got a new Dell R740 from xByte. Came preinstalled with Windows Server 2022.

 

It is booting from NVMe and IT also has 10TB RAID array giving it about 7.25TB of usable space.

 

I will be importing a Hyper-V VM from an old sever running Windows Server 2016. The VM is also Windows Server 2016.

 

*I plan on doing an in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2022 once it is on the new R740.

 

I believe I understand the export function of Hyper-V well enough.

 

My question is getting the VM on the old server over to the new server. I'm thinking: make an SMB share on the new server and have the old server connect to it. I should be able to export the existing VM to it. correct?

 

Note: There is not enough space on the old server to clone that VM on it.
