In this article, we configure a Hyper-V VM to support live migration between Failover Cluster nodes when the two nodes have non-matching CPUs. This example is relevant to Hyper-V Failover Cluster environments where two hosts are configured as cluster nodes and the VM is configured as a Virtual Machine Cluster Role.

- With the VM powered off, open the VM settings dialog.![](/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/vm-settings-live-migration-screenshot.png)
- Expand the **Processor** section and select **Compatibility**
- Check the box labeled "Migrate to a physical computer with a different processor version"

Now you can live migrate (move) the VM between two Hyper-V servers with different CPU processors versions.
