To Check The Hyper-V host Configuration version supported on the host :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get-VMHostSupportedVersion -ComputerName \"Hyper-v host name\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To check the current configuration version running the of all the VM running on one Hyper-v host :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get-VM -ComputerName \"Hyper-v host name\" * | Format-Table Name, Version<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To upgrade the VM configuration version you first need the shut down the VM, then execute :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get-VM -ComputerName \"Hyper-V Host Name\" \"VM name\" | Update-VMVersion\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Start the VM, You can also check on the Hyper-V manager the current running configuration version <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a powershell script that automatically upgrade all the VM’s on Hyper-v Host from Version 5   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
# Check configuration version of each VM on the Hyper-V host\n$vms = Get-VM\n\nforeach ($vm in $vms) {\n    $vmName = $vm.Name\n    $vmConfigVersion = $vm.Version\n\n    Write-Host \"Virtual Machine: $vmName\"\n    Write-Host \"Configuration Version: $vmConfigVersion\"\n\n    # If configuration version is 5, upgrade it\n    if ($vmConfigVersion -eq \"5.0\") {\n        Write-Host \"Shutting down $vmName...\"\n        Stop-VM -Name $vmName -Force\n\n        # Upgrade configuration version\n        Write-Host \"Upgrading configuration version of $vmName...\"\n        Update-VMVersion -Name $vmName -Force\n\n        # Start the VM\n        Write-Host \"Starting $vmName...\"\n        Start-VM -Name $vmName\n    }\n    else {\n        Write-Host \"$vmName is already on a higher configuration version.
