Taken Snapshot of VM in ESXi
Uninstall VMware Tools
Turn Off VM
Copy VMDK-flat to Windows machine.
Convert VMDK to VHDX
Attach to VM.

Question: Will the snapshot cause issues? As I had a VM that had corrupted DLL in OS.

Yes, it might be causing the issue. It is better to merge the snapshot.

Thanks. Will merge snapshots.
Would be nice to have that recommendation in Manual somewhere.
