Hello,
If you have created a virtual machine from an earlier version of Hyper-V and have upgraded to a more recent version of Hyper-V, you will need to update the configuration version of the virtual machine so that it can use the new features available on your new Hyper-V.

# Update the configuration version of the virtual machine# This action is not reversible# The machine must be in a Disabled state (stopped)# If the machine is in a Registered state, the update removes the mise en mémoire state.Update-VMVersion -VM VM-Test
# Update the configuration version of the virtual machine to a more recent version.# This action is not reversible# The machine must be in a stopped state# If the machine is in a Saved state, the update removes the out-of-memory stateUpdate-VMVersion -VM VM-Test2 -TargetVersion 9.0By default, a virtual machine is created with the latest supported configuration version, but if the machine is to be migrated or imported to an older Hyper-V server, it will not work.
It is therefore necessary to create it with a specific configuration version
