sounds good. also snapshots will be available?
Yes, when you import your VMs from the external storage to your new PC, the snapshots associated with each VM should also be preserved. Snapshots are a great way to capture the state of a VM at a specific point in time, allowing you to revert back to that state if needed.
When you import a VM, Hyper-V should bring along its associated checkpoints/snapshots. These snapshots will be visible in the Hyper-V Manager on your new PC, and you can manage them just like you would with any other VM.
To access and manage the snapshots of a VM in Hyper-V Manager:
1. Open Hyper-V Manager on your new PC.
2. Select your new PC on the left-hand side under "Hyper-V Manager."
3. Expand the list to show the VMs.
4. Right-click on the VM that you want to manage the snapshots for and click on "Snapshots" from the context menu.
5. You will see a list of all the available snapshots for that VM.
6. From here, you can take a new snapshot, apply/revert to a specific snapshot, delete a snapshot, or rename a snapshot.
7. You can also use the "Snapshot" menu in the top menu bar to perform these actions.
Remember to manage snapshots cautiously and regularly clean up old snapshots as they can occupy significant disk space and impact VM performance over time.
By importing your VMs with their associated snapshots, you will have the option to use and manage the snapshots in the same way as before, providing you with the flexibility to revert back to previous states of your VMs if needed.
