Chapter 9. Migration to Hyper-V 2016

	"With the experience of doing several hundred migrations, I have collected some good best practices: do some thorough investigation before moving regarding what is running on those migration objects and preferably do some performance analysis also. After migration from another vendor, do some cleaning of third party software such as VMware tools or raid tools and install the latest VM additions, which can be done automatically."
	--Niklas Akerlund MVP - Hyper-V
