How to Convert a Physical Computer to a Microsoft Hyper-V Virtual Machine

If you have a physical computer such as your desktop PC and want to convert it to a virtual machine to be used in Microsoft Hyper-V, this is possible and fairly easy to do.

In order to convert your PC to a VM (physical to virtual), you will need to export or copy its physical disk to a VHDX file, and this can be done using the StarWind V2V Converter software. This video shows you how to perform this process from start to finish.

Here is a link to the software.

Check out our book (Microsoft Hyper-V Desktop Made Easy) that is designed to take your virtualization skills to the next level!

Is this software capable of creating a VHDX file with 2008 32 bit windows server? I'm trying to move it off a physical server to a hyper v VM

Your video is unreadable and I can't follow your instructions. This is all new to me and I need to take it slow.
