Convert OVA to VHD for usage in Hyper-V
Quite easy actually, install VirtualBox that comes with the program VBoxManage.exe. It can be used with clonehd
to specify the new format of the disk. You specify the original disk file, in this case the .vmdk, and then give a location and name to output the .vhd.
Open a cmd prompt, CD to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
or Virtualbox install directory and then run:
VBoxManage.exe clonehd --format vhd "C:\temp\VM\disk1.vmdk" "C:\temp\VM\disk1.vhd"
Documentation for VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-clonevdi
Then I created a new virtual machine from Hyper-V Manager
and selected "Use an existing virtual hard disk". Worked perfectly.

I can't comment yet, but this is a followup to the comment of Ogglas
If you get the message:
'VBoxManage.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Try to enter the entire path of VBOXManage.exe in my case, that would be:
B:\Virtualbox\VBoxManage.exe
The new command would then be:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" clonehd --format vhd "C:\temp\VM\disk1.vmdk" "C:\temp\VM\disk1.vhd"
