Hello

Does StarWind V2V-Converter support the convertion of MS VHD-images (made with Sysinternals Disk2vhd)
to VMDK(VMware)?

Thank you very much!

Bill

PS
At the moment I do only have a Windows2012 Srv to test it, but the VHD-images (made with Sysinternals Disk2vhd)
are not even visible/loadable into StarWind V2V-Converter :-(
