Hi,
I'm trying to use qemu-img to convert a disk image to VHDX for use on
Windows 10's Hyper-V - qemu-img version 4.1.0
(v4.1.0-11789-g013a2ecf4f-dirty)

The image is
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/releases/eoan/release/ubuntu-19.10-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img

 'C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-img.exe' convert
C:\Users\Adam\Downloads\ubuntu-19.10-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img -O vhdx -o
subformat=fixed C:\Users\Adam\Downloads\ubuntu.vhdx (with or without
subformat) results in the following error:

Checkpoint operation for 'New Virtual Machine' failed. (Virtual machine ID
D8C746DE-89A4-4373-B330-471055C24F8F)

'New Virtual Machine' cannot create the storage required for the checkpoint
using disk C:\Users\Adam\Downloads\ubuntu.vhdx: The requested operation
could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation.  Virtual
hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be
sparse. (0xC03A001A). (Virtual machine ID
D8C746DE-89A4-4373-B330-471055C24F8F)

Hyper-V doesn't seem to give much more information than that - how would I
go about troubleshooting this?

Regards,
Adam
