mysql to mssql conversion with OPENROWSET

Question

I saw couple of tools but all are paid, I have only one database in MySQL that we want to convert in MSSQL.

Suppose i create the schema by myself then is it possible to use OPENROWSET to open connection to mysql and import all data into sql with following statement?

INSERT INTO Customers 
   SELECT * FROM ( 
     OPENROWSET (
       'mysql',
       'mysql connection string',
       'SELECT * FROM Customers"))

or

OPENDATASOURCE?
