Hyper-V VM State to Memory Dump Converter

  • Article

Today Anton – from the Hyper-V development team – released the Hyper-V VM State to Memory Dump Converter tool.

What this tool does is allow you to take the saved state files from a Hyper-V virtual machine and convert it to the memory dump format that is used by the Windows debugging tools.  This is very handy if you are a developer who wants to poke around inside the state of a virtual machine – without generating a full memory dump internally (or configuring and connecting a debugger).

You can even use this tool to look at the memory state from a virtual machine snapshot.

You can download the tool (and read more about it) from here:
