How To Convert a Physical PC To a Virtual Box Virtual Machine (Windows)

Показать описание

In this tutorial I will show you how to convert a physical PC that runs Windows to a Virutal Box Virtual Machine, using Disk2VHD. Disk2vhd is a utility that allows you to create Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) files from physical disks on a Windows system. It's a disk imaging tool that captures the contents of a hard drive, including the operating system, applications, and data, and saves it as a VHD file. VHD is a file format. Disk2vhd will run on Windows Vista to Windows 11, so you can convert older Windows installs if you would like!

If you have CMS enabled in the bios and the virtual machine does not boot (asks for a ISO/DVD), switch off the "EFI" option under Settings - System - Enable EFI (special OSes only). It is enabled in the above video at 5:42.
(CSM, also known as Compatibility Support Module, is a component of the UEFI firmware, which provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS environment)

During the first boot up, Virtualbox is looking for a iso. How do you redirect it to the VHD file?

Great, but, does it work with a Linux partition?

Waste of time without a License number. Nice video though.
