I have an older Windows 7 ultimate machine that I use for converting HI8 tapes, etc. and is the host OS for VMWare Workstation 12 pro. I had updated to a SSD that failed over the weekend. My old WD spinny drive works fine, but I would like to create a Virtual Machine of it just in case of a failure and to move it to a newly built or purchased machine that I most likely will need to do by the end of the year (or wait until Intel Gen 13 is out). I cannot find the free converter.
Any idea on where to get it so I can create a VM from my host OS?
Anything special I need to be aware of in creating this VM?
Thanks
