Migrate from one VM to another VM

[sakopp]

I have a VM running WIN 8 and I need to create one running WIN 10.

Can I use the "Migrate your PC…" menu option to move everything on the old VM to the new one so that I won't have to reinstall software?

If not, is there a way to do this?

I have to create a new VM instead of upgrading because it's a company install and has to have all of the IT Dept's extra stuff in it.

Thanks

A virtual machine, to your host computer, is just a (set of) files.  Keep your existing one, and make a copy of it to use to upgrade to Windows 10.

Thanks.

As I said, I cannot do an upgrade. The WIN10 VM has to be a new, "fresh" install.

Hi,

It's Windows, AFAICT you have to reinstall all your software.

I tried Microsoft's "Migrate your PC" option in the past a few times and it was so bad I don't even bother with that anymore.

Thanks for your reply. That's pretty much what I'm afraid of.
