So I just completed an experiment and did get the results I expected.
1. I created a VM in Hyper-V on an Intel laptop. I did not attach any drives to the VM.
2. I exported the VM from the laptop and imported it in Hyper-V on an AMD desktop computer.
3. Then I attached VDisks to each VM, on the laptop I installed Windows 10 Pro with the generic product key. On the desktop I installed Windows 11 with the generic product key. I signed in to both with a local account only.
4. I checked activation of both VMs and neither VM was activated.
5. I activated the Windows 11 VM on the desktop computer by entering a Windows 8 Pro product key.
6. On the Windows 10 on the laptop VM, I ran slmgr /ato (online automatic activation). It activated with no change in product key.
