I think it is obvious that upgrade capabilities for Hyper-V make a lot of sense and there is a lot of interest in it. I really hope upgrade is considered for the next release.

Thanks, Joachim

Hyper-V Server upgrades aren't officially supported (nor has the validation of upgrades of various configurations of Hyper-V Server).  I can put this on the potential feature list for future versions, but I do want to be clear that this isn't supported.

    Jim Wooldridge Understood.  We didn't do this in production, but in-place upgrades have been a handy for us to update our dev environments without having to move VMs around and needing additional hardware.
