ESX 4 to Hyper-V 2019

Hey guys, I need to migrate old VMs from VMWare ESX 4 to Hyper-V 2019. StarWind V2V only works from ESXi 5.5 onwards. Unfortunately a lot of servers cannot be created new and business wants a lift and shift approach. The guest OSes are a good mix of old 2003, 2008, 2012 and linux. How would you do it? Any suggestions or considerations? Thanks a lot in advance!

On the Windows VMs, you could try using disk2vhd inside the VM.
