Hello,
I have the hard disk of former Windows 7 computer. I need to convert the Windows7 OS into a VM.
I am using VMware Fusion on my mac.
Is there a way to convert the win7 into a VM?
Appreciate any help.
kind regards,
Roland

This is the software from VMware which converts OSes that were installed on a physical system to a VM: https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/downloads/info/slug/infrastructure_operations_management/vmware_...
But this assumes you can boot the OS from disk.

Yes, as I mentioned above: "But this assumes you can boot the OS from disk."
