Recover Existing Virtual Machine

Post by bobmixon »

Greetings all,

I recently had to rebuild my laptop and I have an existing virtual machine I would like to continue to use. I have all the files for this virtual machine but am unfamiliar with how to copy/import this to my new VirtualBox install. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance for the help!

A single VDI (one file VM) can be attached to any VM new or existing, if you have snapshots you have a mayor challenge to get them working.
