How do I change container to boot natively?

VMWare helped me create a virtual machine on Player Version 12.2.4 (20071091) a few years ago.

It will now only boot through the VMWare player and I wanted it to boot natively?

How do I change it to boot native?

I have reported your post to the moderators so they can move it to the correct area of the Communities, since you're not asking about a vSphere security advisory.

What exactly do you consider "native"?

A VM need the Hypervisor - in this case VMware Player - on which it can run.

There have been some products in the past which could perform a Virtual to Physical (V2P) migration.  Is this what you are asking about?  VMware does not have any products, but search the web for that term... I know Platespin used to be one, and I think StarWind has a converter product which may do P2V.
