P2V migration with Free ESXi?

[AllenBeasley]

I have ESXi running from an internal flash drive on a Dell R310.
On the "C" drive of the server (A RAID 1 250 GB drive set), I have an instance of Windows 2012r2.
Can someone ELI5 how I would spin up the Windows? ESXi doesn't actually "see" it so I am unsure of where to even start.
Also, is the P2V tool free like ESXi or does it only come with paid versions of VMware?
Thank you!

ESXi cannot work with NTFS.
You cannot p2v an ESXi host unfortunately.
