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..
Allright I got the machine live!Â
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).Â
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...
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
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
@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
@Dashrender Easily found by looking at the used drivers on my storage disks I presume
@Dashrender In disk part i can see all my disks
@Lennertgenbr Discussed with the boss and it is possible that this machine has gone through a P2V previously.
I saw in the config of the hyper-v that my 2nd disk is linked to a SATA controller. Is this a problem for xen?
@Dashrender disabled them, rebooted but the same BSOD.
I'm going to inform myself about the previous P2V. I'm guessing yes, but I inherited the environment so I can't be sure.
Are the megasas and megasr keys something to disable aswel?
@Lennertgenbr Gonna get some sleep now.
I'll check back in when i wake up
Sorry for the long one. But i got 14 images of this...
Agreed but i can't, for the love of god. Figure out where to find what drivers i need to disable in the reg
This starwind converter is letting me down.
How can a 112GB disk end up in a 512kb disk
@Dashrender A weird thing i see is that my "System Reserved" disk is getting assigned a letter by default.
@Lennertgenbr NVM i found it. But i'm moving away from hyper-v. Is it possible i should change the other way arround?
Because i found the settings to be already as you described
