The user manual should tell you what kind of batteries to use.
If they are NiMh, then you continue to use NiMh with the camera.
It's a good chemistry.
This charger, as an example, includes a battery analyzer, and it
will tell you how many milliamp-hours your NiMh cell has in it.
A new package of four cells, should be relatively well-matched.

I don't know if VHDX works with a lot of hosting softwares.
It works with at least Hyper-V.
You might need to find a converter somewhere, to convert
.vhdx to some other format.
On some hosting softwares, the interface is condescending, and
that stops my usage of the software right there. Both Windows and
Linux have versions of things I will not use. I tried Hyper-V,
did not like it. Whereas the older Windows Virtual PC, at one
time, that was my main hosting solution. Really nice interface.
If your plan is to do a lot of I/O in a virtualized environment,
that can be slow. This is about the best I can do today. Your
faster processor can likely do double this rate.

That's a Windows Guest on a Linux Host.
