I'm having a tough time with the VM Conversion (Preview) feature in Windows Admin Center (WAC) while trying to convert a virtual machine from VMWare to Hyper-V. Every time I run the pre-check, it hangs at 4% and throws the error: "The specified disk path does not exist or is not accessible." I assure you, the disk path is valid and accessible, and I'm using an account that is part of the Hyper-V Administrators group. Could anyone share their experiences or advice on this? Given that it's in preview, I'm wondering if that could be part of the problem.

We've had good luck using the Starwind converter instead of WAC. No major issues to report when doing the conversion that way.
Why not just use your current backup solution to handle the conversion instead? It might save you some hassle.
This might sound silly, but do you have a trusted certificate on the WAC gateway? I've noticed that I face more issues when using self-signed or untrusted certificates.
Did you manage to do a live conversion with that? I noticed the 'Synchronize' option just created snapshots and kept the original VM running, which wasn't what I expected.
