Microsoft provides a free tool to convert an existing virtual machine to a Hyper-V virtual machine: Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter.
This tool includes a graphical interface for the most common operations. However, in some scenarios (particularly in non-enterprise environments), you must use the supplied PowerShell cmdlet.
For example, the following script converts a virtual hard disk from VMDK (VMware) format to VHDX (Hyper-V) format:
PowerShell
Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter\MvmcCmdlet.psd1'
$vmdk="sample.vmdk"
$vhdx="sample.vhdx"
ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk -SourceLiteralPath $vmdk -DestinationLiteralPath $vhdx
