    Use VMware’s free tool\u00a0 VMware vCenter Converter<\/a> to convert both Windows and Linux physical machines into VMware virtual machines. You could boot the result in the free VMware Player application.<\/p>\n

    Download vCenter Converter from VMware and launch it on the computer you want to turn into a virtual machine. Click the \u201cConvert machine\u201d button on the toolbar and select the current, powered-on computer as the source. Choose a VMware Workstation, VMware Player, or VMware Fusion virtual machine as the destination and configure the options for the virtual machine.<\/p>\n

    The utility will then create a virtual machine from the current Windows system, modifying it so it will boot properly in a virtual machine program. Save that virtual machine to an external hard drive and boot it up on a different computer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    To migrate from VMware to VirtualBox, you first need to export the VM in an .ovf file.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    VirtualBox and VMware use different virtual machine formats, but each supports the standard Open Virtualization Format. Convert your existing virtual machine to OVF or OVA and you\u2019ll be able to import it into another virtual machine program.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, this may not always work perfectly, as VirtualBox and VMware both seem to use slightly different OVA\/OVF implementations that aren\u2019t entirely compatible. If this doesn\u2019t work, you may want to reinstall your virtual machine\u2019s guest operating system from scratch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
