As said, the OS has to be modified to run on antother system (like VPC). This should / could work:
1) make sure you have a backup of your current VMware VM hard disk, the *.vmdk file(s).
2) You've to uninstall the VMware tools. After words this can't be done anymore as VMware uninstaller aborts when the VM is run on antother technology as VMware...
3) To remove all old hardware you could run "sysprep". This will clean all the hardware specific settings from the OS. Choose the option to shut down the OS when finished.
4) Now it's time to convert this vmdk into a vhd using the StarWind V2V Converter.
5) Create a new VM in VPC and use this new created VHD. The process will now install all new hardware.
Note, VPC only supports VHD lower 127 GB. Otherwise the images has to be resized. Check this:

Hope this helps...
