Answer B. Not only are the processor's family different but so are the names of both switches. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/canitpro/2013/01/03/shared-nothing-live-migration-goodbye-shared-storage/ Both hosts must have chipsets in the same family – that is, you cannot live migrate an Intel to an AMD or vice-versa. If the processors are similar enough (i7 to i5 is fine, i7 to Core2 Duo is not) then no action is necessary. In the event that you do have dissimilar processors (newer and older but still within the same family, then you have to configure your virtual machine’s CPU compatibility, as outlined in the article Getting Started with Hyper-V in Server 2012 and Windows 8. If your virtual machine is connected to a virtual switch then you need to have an identically named virtual switch on the destination host. If not your migration will be paused while you specify which switch to use on the destination server.

Its the same question I asked, and if the CPU has to be the same for a shared 'NOTHING' migration then that 'NOTHING" is misleading, and it annoys me!

B is correct. AMD and Intel are different CPU.
