How to reset VM snapshot power state?

I moved a (large) VM from my MacBook Pro (running the latest Fusion) to an older dual Athlon workstation running the latest Workstation version. I want to clone two snapshots to new VMs, but everything is greyed out. I assume that the snapshot needs to be in a "power off state"?

None of the snapshots will resume, or "Power On to BIOS" because of incompatible CPU features. If I try, it says "Restoring state..." then gives the error "The virtual machine you are attempting to restore is using the NX/ED CPU feature, but your host does not support it"

I can't figure out how to get the snapshots to a "powered off"

state. It takes a long time to transfer the VM and would rather not

transfer again. Smiley Happy

Rename / delete the VMSS file (you still have a backup?).
