Post by dmanthree »

I need to move a VM from a Windows host to a Mac host. Can this be done? If so, what's the procedure?

Or better yet copy the entire guests folder and use the add feature to add the guest to the new install. Saves time and is not as prone to errors.

How to move guests created with => version 4.*
