Turning old W7Pro pc into VM for W10 new pc?

Sat Jun 20, 2020 4:46 am

Saw someone mention that they do this when they get a new pc so that they have all the old stuff right at hand as they move over to using the new pc.
I'm still booting up my old pc to dig up some of the "use once a year" programs that I forgot I even had.

Thoughts and pointers would be very welcome on how to do this. I use "VMware Workstation 14 Player".

Thanks!

The Model M is not for the faint of heart. You either like them or hate them.

VMware Workstation is a good application, sometimes it is also fun to use Virtual Box and V2 Cloud to work in both of these ways, well you like it.
