Recently moving my Crypto wallet virtual machine from an older PC to a new PC – Hyper-V to VMWare Workstation. Both PCs do not have connection to each other, so using VMWare Converter tool would not work.
We will use qemu-img software to convert the image. https://cloudbase.it/qemu-img-windows/
Note: QEMU disk image utility for Windows. It is used for converting, creating, and consistency checking of various virtual disk formats. It is compatible with Hyper-V, KVM, VMware, VirtualBox, and Xen virtualization solutions.
Steps:
1.) Download the software from the above link.
2.) Extract the contents, and copy to C:\Program Files.
3.) Open Command Prompt as an Administrator and navigate to the newly extracted files – C:\Program Files\qemu-img.
4.) Lets get the information about the file we want to convert.
qemu-img.exe info “<FilePath>”
Eg. qemu-img.exe info "G:\Hyper-V\Crypto\Virtual Hard Disks\Crypto.vhdx"
5.) Run the following command to convert the file to VMDK:
qemu-img.exe info convert -p "G:\Hyper-V\Crypto\Virtual Hard Disks\Crypto.vhdx" -0 vmdk d:\vmwareworkstation\VMs\Crypto\Crypto_OS.vmdk
6.) Once completed, the VMDK will be ready to use.
