hi ankit ,

sorry , test on physical machine , update .

update: (i test it )

i deleted partition except system drive  c:

(diskpart --> select disk 0 --> list partition --> select partition 3 --> delete partition override )

diskpart>create partition msr size=128

diskpart>create partition efi size=260

select efi volume format :

diskpart>format quick fs=fat32 label="system"

diskpart>assign letter=b

diskpart>exit

>bootrec /fixboot

c:\windows>bcdboot c:\windows /s b: /f all

after still can not boot up .

i found vm gen1 , create new gen2 vm , attach vhdx file , works .

best regards

elton ji
