Which method should you use to move each virtual machine?

HOTSPOT
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two member
servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Hyper-V server role installed. The servers are configured as shown in the
following table.

You add a third server named Server3 to the network. Server3 has Intel processors.
You need to move VM3 and VM6 to Server3. The solution must minimize downtime on the virtual machines.
Which method should you use to move each virtual machine?
To answer, select the appropriate method for each virtual machine in the answer area.

Answer: VM3 – export and import, VM6 – live migration.

Explanation:
You can’t perform live migration for VM3 because ofdifferent processor manufacturer. It’s the key here. Export
and import is the only option.

I was very confused by this question because I thought Quick/Live migrations can only happen ONLY in a cluster and not on stand-alone HyperV hosts.

Then I found this: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831435.aspx

Live migration outside of a clustered environment.
In Windows Server 2012, you can configure a virtual machine so that it is stored on an SMB file share. You can then perform a live migration on this running virtual machine between non-clustered servers running Hyper-V, while the virtual machine’s storage remains on the central SMB share. This allows users to gain the benefits of virtual machine mobility without having to invest in the clustering infrastructure if they do not need guarantees of availability in their environment.

So, as long as you keep the storage on a SMB share, you can perform live migrations outside of a clustered infrastructure.

Provided answer looks correct.

Technical term for that is called “Shared Nothing Live Migration”. If that was an option, that would be correct. However, Storage Migration is just as correct. You can move the VM, or VM + storage, regardless if it’s for clustered VMs or non-clustered VMs. In that case, Storage Migration seems like a better option here.
