StarWind V2V Converter, P2V Migrator • SLES 12.5 ESXi to HyperV Migraiton Issue (UUID Preservation))

I am Attempting to Migrate a SLES 12.5 Server from ESXi to HyperV. The migration technically completes, BUT the UUID of the drives is NOT preserved during migration. Since SLES uses root Drive UUIDs to boot, the machine is not bootable after migration. Grub does attempt to boot by because the UUIDs don't match the machine does not fully boot. I was wondering if any experts know how I can:

• Preserve UUIDs during the migration using Starwind V2V convertor

Or if it is possible. I believe this would solve my issue. I also know it is possible, as I used to use software called sep sesem to restore a failed SLES VM, and as long as I built a new VM with New Fresh Virtual drives, and as long as I made sure the drive were the same size, Sep Sesam would happily restore all the partitions, Data and THE SAME UUIDs to each drive in the SLES 12.5 server, and the machine would boot. Any Suggestions on how to do the same with StarWind? I would be greatly appreciative.
