Migrate to a Physical Computer With A Different Processor Version


I found this trick by accident – If the ‘Migrate to a Physical Computer With A Different Processor Version’ is not checked in the processor settings.  Hyper-V virtual machine will refuse to live migrate to another host, even the two hosts have identical processors.

The error message for this is ‘Virtual machine MOVING-VM is using processor-specific features not supported on host DESTINATION. To allow for migration of this virtual machine to a server with a different processor, modify the virtual machine settings to limit the processor features used by the virtual machine.
