These are the steps need to boot disks when the source hypervisort (in my case hyper-v) was using EFI and GPT disks.¶

Note wether the OS is Debian, Ubuntu, etc or Windows these steps change - the main difference will be step 7 and the name of the efi file. You will only need to do this if the OS has been install on a source hypervisor where EFI was enabled on VMs (e.g. gen2 VMs on Hyper-v)

Steps¶

boot and entio bios to change UEFI order click in console as it says bootin and mash esc key until you see:

select boot maintenace manager above

then select boot options.

then select add boot option

then select the boot volume (if you did step 12 right there will be only one)

select EFI

select the OS (in my case debian)

select the right EFI file - in my case either grubx64.efi or shimx64.efi will work, i go with grubx64.efi

add a description - anything will do, just rememebr it

commit changes and exit
