MS rereleased the update, supposedly it is fixed now. We will look out for other reviews before installing.

The Exchange Server SU breaks non-English Servers. MS acknowledged the issue and provides an official workaround.

never done p2v but v2v before, using the starwind converter. it's a freeware and I just read it can also do p2v. proxmox itself is not available as a target, so you might have to convert your server to an esxi-vm, and then again from there to proxmox 🤔 that might be the slowest and one of the dirtiest ways to tackle this, but it might work
here's the link to the converter software: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter
It is easy to get to these drive self reporting data, but reading it can be tricky.
For Windows there are GUI tools like https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/, that make all those values understandable even for people without much computer background.
For Linux the story is a bit different. Most current desktop environments do carry some functionality to read the S.M.A.R.T. data from the drives and display these data to the user. The user then has to find a way to interprete these seeminly random numbers. For things like the amound of written data to a drive (relevant for SSD) you have to pull out a calculator. Maybe there are also easily unterstandable GUI tools for Linux, I just haven't found them.
