Convert VMDK to VHDX

In this article, I am going to convert a VMware virtual machine (VMDK) TO VHDX Hyper-V using StarWind v2v convert. After attempt Hyper-V, I was interested in the interface, and with the software that comes with Microsoft; the use between the host and the VM does not require VMware Tools like using on VMware Workstation. Software that helps converts from VMDK to VHDX too, which Microsoft also has (Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter).
