Convert Bare Metal Windows Server 2016 to Proxmox VM

Like the title says I am trying to convert a bare metal install of Server 2016 to a Proxmox VM.

So far I have backups of the Windows server (.vhdx) and I have converted them to .raw and imported them to the VM. However when I try to start the VM I get a no bootable device found and it goes into the EFI shell.

Is there an easier way?
