Allright I got the machine live!
So what I did was really plain and simple...
Create a backup and recovery media with Veeam endpoint backup.
Restore the backup onto my xen server (with driver injection).
Boot the machine in safe mode.
Disable hyper-v services (even though they are disabled in hyper-v...)
Reboot
Done
I still can't believe it took me so long to figure this one out. I was deleting/editing registry entries related to drivers that I didn't need etc...
Quick update, Backup is restored. I am running a chkdsk on all my drives to ensure they are ok. Hoping this will finish later today
Wow, just read the article... This is unreal!
It's the exact method as any business uses in case of non payment.
I can't even think of a precedent because it's kind of like a custom 
You don't pay, you don't use. It's common sense just like @scottalanmiller said before.
You can't take a ride on the ferris wheel if you don't buy yourself a ticket..

I still have to look into this. Didn't get around to it because of my birthday
@Dashrender sfc /scannow will be no help i guess? Can't remember it ever running from a recovery console
@Net-Runner Already tried Starwind V2V. It failed on me. Didn't convert the disk just made an empty one that's 512kb
@Dashrender Ok, i can't boot into the advanced startup options list..
I keep getting the "launch startup repair" "start windows normally screen" on which i press enter and then bash my F8 key. But to no avail

@Dashrender I'm restoring todays backup first. Gonna start as clean as possible.
Then i'll run the boot with log.
Hope I can get this show on the road really soon. Need to free up that hypervisor lol
Ok so i've found this but the storvsc is already disabled... Should i disable the other drivers? They seem like native windows ones and not really hyper-v specific
