ESXi 5.5 to Hyper-V conversion question..consolidate first?

I am working on converting my Esxi 5.5 VMs to Hyper-V Vms on my new server. I have tested it and it looks like I can directly connect V2V running on new server to my live old Esxi host to do the conversions.
My question is: Do I need to consolidate the snapshots and logs prior to the conversion or not?
Thanks

Conversion might not run because of VMX seeing the delta rather than a proper file.
