Convertion VMware to VirtualBOX

Post by Aurelien77 »

Hello,

Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine under VMware to VirtualBOX under Windows11 ?
If yes, do you have a solution to solve this problem.

Sincerely

Aurélien

Possible? Yes. Guaranteed to be easy? Certainly not.

Moving a VM image between different VM platforms has the same difficulties as moving a PC image between different PCs. If you know what you're doing then the problems (e.g. having drivers installed for all the wrong hardware) can be anticipated and overcome, but don't assume that this is a minor procedure, especially for noobs. However, by all means try it.
