How to import an OVA template into Hyper-V

Suppose, I intend to deploy the Redmine OVA template, which has been packaged by Bitnami, onto Hyper-V.

Hyper-V does not support OVA templates or .vmdk virtual hard drives.

---

STEP:
download OVA-image itself.

---

STEP:
install 7zip

---

STEP:
install visual c++ redistribute 2019 and virtualbox

---

STEP:

extract ova:

PS C:\Users\alex\Downloads> & 'C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe' e bitnami-redmine-5.0.5-r14-debian-11-amd64.ova -o'redmine_bitnami_ova'

    Extracting archive: bitnami-redmine-5.0.5-r14-debian-11-amd64.ova
    ....
    Everything is Ok

---

STEP:

convert .vmdk hard-drive to a .vhd:

PS C:\Users\alex\Downloads\redmine_bitnami_ova> & 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe' clonehd ".\bitnami-redmine-5-5.0.5-r14-debian-11-amd64-disk-0.vmdk" redmine.vhd --format vhd

---

STEP:
copy created redmine.vhd into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Virtual Hard Disks folder

---

STEP:
create new VirtualMachine:

It is important to specifiy generation 1, it will allow to use the IDE controller (instead of SCSI)

PS:

I also tried option with qemu-img (to get qemu-img)

PS C:\Users\alex\Downloads\redmine_bitnami_ova> & C:\qemu\qemu-img.exe convert .\bitnami-redmine-5-5.0.5-r14-debian-11-amd64-disk-0.vmdk  -O vhdx bitnami_redmine.vhdx

but this option didn't worked for me.
