Is switching from virtualbox to hyper-v justified?

There are working virtual machines on vbox under windows 10. They have windows, browsers, applications, I run 3-4 at the same time, but there are so many of them plus snapshots. Will they run faster and consume better memory if done under hyper-v ?
Is it possible to set up a private lan between them in hyper-v, and make several network interfaces? Is there a full screen mode?

Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor that runs directly on the hardware. Usually it is used by those who virtualize Windows - it is controlled by mmc snap-ins. Without allocation under it of the separate server - it is senseless.
If you have different machines - it's better to take ESXi.

Completely different hypervisors. I think you will be disappointed with the transition, I won’t say anything about performance (it’s unlikely that there will be much noticeable changes), it’s also not clear how you are going to use virtual machines, if browsers - then if you suddenly still watch video there - then it’s not immediately in the console, only through RDP.
In Hyper-V, you can’t do hardware forwarding, as it is easily done in VBox, there is no functionality and VBox share, only built-in Samba.
Hyper-V itself is better than VBox'a integration into the system (out of the box all Powershell modules for automation, although VBox can also be done through PS), Headless mode ... Well, that is. you need to directly seriously compare which features are important to you and after that only think about migration.
