Re: new to forum, basic P2V question

I was able to virtualize my 32-bit XP machine with disk2vhd converter and I then installed the StarWind P2V/V2V converter on my wife's Win10 laptop so I could convert the resulting Hyper-V .vhdx file to .vmdk. However, V2V didn't create a .vmx configuration file so I can't open in VMware Workstation...

Ok I tried to install V2V/P2V on my Windows machine and got an error "Cannot expand "pf64" constant", which I gather means it won't run on a 32-bit machine. In the comments section for the V2V/P2V Converter White Paper, someone asked if there's a 32-bit version. StarWind Software...

Re: new to forum, basic P2V question

@yaroslav, thank you for your reply. I already had reviewed the concept diagram, which shows the same thing as the StarWind P2V home page: P2V conversion is limited to cloud (AWS, Azure), Hyper-V (Windows) or a VMware ESXi "set of disks", none of which are helpful in my scenario. However, ...

new to forum, basic P2V question

I have an old XP machine that I need to convert to a VM before the hardware fails. It has software that I use in my business -- some of which is no longer available, and in some cases, I no longer have the install disks. I intend to run the VM on my LInux machine that has a fast CPU, SSD, and lots o...
