      If you made backups of these two vhdx I would try merging the two into one. Test and verify that all your data is there.

        It is domain controller. I don't remember what I did to it last time. But so far so good.
        But somehow I cannot run it off Gen2. I have to create Gen1 to run it.

          That is not really a big concern. There are no major differences in Gen1 vs Gen2 that will affect a basic VM.

                Also, Gen2 only works for Win Server 2012 and Win10 VMs...

                  False. All of my CentOS 7 VM's are Gen2

                    False. All of my CentOS 7 VM's are Gen2

                    OK fine.. Specifically Windows VMs. We went through this with windows server when I was installing one a few weeks ago.

                    I think basically if the system can't use UEFI, it can't be a Gen2 VM.

                      Yes, that is the restriction I believe.

                        Gen1 allows legacy hardware such as a NIC for PXE boot. I believe Gen1 is Bios Emulation and Gen2 is UEFI
