OS only, no applications?

Hello - I'm brand new to V2V and working on migrating a VMware Workstation VM to MS Hyper-V. I have successfully connected and created a VM on the Hyper-V server, but it is just the Ubuntu 22.04 OS without any of the files, apps, etc. I guess I don't know if this is expected behavior or some went squirrelly. Any assistance would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to StarWind Forum! V2V does alter the data while converting: it just takes the disk and remaps it in a new format. In other words, the source and destination VM have the same data.
Please double-check the source VM.

In some cases, the Linux filesystem does not map the old disks or partitions to their places in the filesystem. Do remember that the OS is seeing a new SCSI or IDE controller instead of the old virtual hardware. Consult a Linux guru though, I'm a Windows guy.

Very good point. Thanks!
