Terrific video. Thank you! I need to convert my old Win XP machine to a vm and run it on a Win7 host. I assume this video will help me to do this. Yes? I hope?

[imcesa]

hey emilio, great video, but I can't download vcenter converter bc its seems deprecated, do you know anything about it?

[mikesTube]

I'm looking to convert physical installation to vmware virtual machine and then convert that to a format (qcow2) that can be used with proxmox as I want to use free opensource proxmox as a type 1 hypervisor. Do I need to have esxi installed first to accomplish this or can I bypass the Server Settings portion and just create the virtual machine on it's own?

[garrybangud]

Hi Emilio. I think the Vcenter Converter is not available now. Is there any alternative to download the same application.

[legendz]

Great video can you do this conversion without having an esxi host on your local network, can the image be saved to just a shared folder on network instead or it has to connect to esxi host as the destination source ?

Can I just clone a physical pc and put on a hard drive then added to a VMware software on a separate pc using the VMware convert or

Very helpful. It's a lot easier to understand when you see it being done rather than just reading about it. Thank you

Hello, I am writing to you because I have a problem... if I want to download my physical machine to an external disk or to my PC, it throws an error at 98%, which means that it could not be found with the virtual machine, which I don't know why. If this error is due, would you have the opportunity to support me through TeamViewer?. Best Regards Diego Sauceda

[duchuynh]

I haven't done this conversion for a long time. Do you know if I still can use my computer during its converting? Thanks
