You cannot convert a VM between G1 and G2. That is a UEFI and MBT/GPT thing. You must use 64-bit editions of Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 or later. EDIT1: Niklas Akerlund has blogged abouthow he has successfully converted a Gen1 VM into a Gen2 VM using Double-Take Move. Technor...
Not to mention that Gen2 VMs are already limited to Win8/Win2012. John Howard -MSFT 2013年11月8日 Frank - can you be more specific - which bit is overly complex in your opinion? John Howard -MSFT 2013年11月8日 @JD - which functionality? To convert between generation 1 and ...
I have a VM Gen2 with following settings: I can boot fine from the same .iso from a Gen1 VM so the .iso is bootable. I know that the Gen2 VM uses SCSI instead of IDE, but I have no clue regarding how to boot from the .iso..An...
Gen1 VMs can use either VHD or VHDX virtual disk files. Gen2 VMs can use only the VHDX virtual disk file format. VMDK is an open file format of VMware VM virtual disks developed by VMware. Dynamic Disks vs. Thin-Provisioned Disks Dynamic disks are dynamically expanding virtual disks for ...
That is if image has dosmbr-partitioning or if the guestOS is setup to do legacy-BIOS-boot-sequence, then forget about gen-2 and use gen-1 instead. In other words, choose path of least work to make the guestOS boot. You can convert to image to desired gen-# later once you have ...

I have replicated the problem and think you are on the right lines with your analysis. Here's an blog post by John Howard about changing an ISO from Gen1 to Gen2:http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/11/11/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-9.aspx...

though I have not seen a Linux OS that will run on Gen2 from the limited tests I've tried? Support for Linux in Hyper-V has gotten quite impressive. I've not had a Linux distro that wouldn't work as a Gen 2 for quite a while. At worst, I've had to disable Secure Boot. ...
