KingWerx(TM) Hypervisor Migrator   v0.7.56
KW Tech Solutions LLC  -  KingWerx(TM)
Migrate VMware vSphere / ESXi VMs to Microsoft Hyper-V.
================================================================

WHAT IT DOES
  Migrates VMware VMs to Hyper-V. Connect to vCenter/ESXi, grade each VM's boot-readiness,
  then convert the disk + fix guest bootability (the STOP 0x7B fix) + build & start the VM.
  The source VM is COPIED, never moved or deleted. After a successful migration the source
  is quarantined (network disconnected, autostart disabled) - which is reversible.

REQUIREMENTS
  - Run ON the Hyper-V host (Hyper-V role installed), as Administrator.
  - Self-contained: qemu-img and govc are bundled - no internet or Install-Module needed.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
  This tool builds, starts, and can roll back virtual machines on production systems.
  You review what will be migrated and you approve it.

  - You are responsible for maintaining a current, tested FULL SYSTEM BACKUP of every
    machine this software changes - the source hosts, the target hosts, and the virtual
    machines themselves. A VMDK copy, a VM snapshot, a converted disk, or any file this
    tool writes is NOT a backup.
  - Validate each migrated VM before you decommission any source.
  - Run this tool only on systems you are authorized to migrate.
  - Support covers this program only - not VMware, Hyper-V, the guest operating systems,
    or the outcome of any migration.

SESSION LOG
  Every run appends to kwx-migrate.log next to the application, as each line happens -
  what ran, by which user, on which machine. The file stays on that machine; nothing is
  transmitted anywhere.

HOW TO RUN  (on the Hyper-V host)
  1. Copy this whole folder onto the Hyper-V host and extract it.
  2. Run KwxMigrator.exe as Administrator (it also self-elevates via UAC).
  3. Source  : enter vCenter/ESXi host + credentials  ->  Assess Inventory
  4. Assess  : review the green/amber/red grades, keep the VMs you want
  5. Target  : pick the virtual switch / settings
  6. Migrate : Start Migration  ->  watch each VM convert, prep, build, and boot

NOTES
  - Windows guests get the 0x7B boot fix automatically (IDE boot-start for Gen1 targets).
  - Old Windows (7 / 2008) will want Hyper-V Integration Services installed for networking after first boot.
  - User guide: KingWerx-Migrator-User-Guide.html (full walkthrough, network mapping, VHDX format, rollback + per-guest notes).

LICENSING
  A free one-migration trial per host is included. Unlimited migrations on a host require
  a Lemon Squeezy license key (About -> Enter license key). A license is per technician and
  is non-transferable. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
