Windows 10 Error -Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

Created a Vm windows 10 from a physical machine using  Converter stand alone, moved to an external SSD attached to a new Mac Pro 2019 , Using Vmware Fusion 11.5.1

When starting the vm I am getting the following error

A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed

I already changed privileges in Security  & Privacy ,   and running a windows 7 vm is working fine

thanks

That sounds like the patching drivers part of the Converter-job failed - or like you use an inapproppriate vmx-file.

So it may help to see the vmx-file

I would try without USB-support and thinprint first.

Add the bells and whistles once you have scsi-controller and nics operating.
