Moving XP VM on windows vista host to windows 10 host

Post by DonVetOne »

Not sure if this is at all possible - I have upgraded a host machine from Windows Vista to W10 and need to install the XP Guest on Windows 10.
How do I do this?

Thanks,
Don.

Not if you follow the instructions, and I'm also assuming you didn't override the folder structure of the VM (i.e. all files belonging to the VM are in the VMs folder).
