How to import Hyper-V machine without copying files one more time

I have really limited free disk space and I want to run an exported virtual machine in place.

When importing - Is there a way to not copy already exported virtual machine in another place and run in in the "exported folder"?
Just to run a virtual machine.

Hi,

When importing a Hyper-V virtual machine you have three (3) options:

  1. Register the Virtual Machine In-Place (Use the Existing Unique ID)

  2. Restore the Virtual Machine (Use the Existing Unique ID)

  3. Copy the Virtual Machine (Create a New Unique ID)


If you choose the first option "Register the Virtual Machine In-Place (Use the Existing Unique ID)" then none of the source files are moved or changed in any way.


(If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote or accept as answer, thank you)


Best regards,

How can we do this to where the files get moved into the default location?
