Dear community,

I was looking to remotely convert Windows XP, 7, 8 and Vista machines using vCenter Converter 6.3. Now, I am aware that these OSes are no longer supported by version 6.3 and version 6.2 is no longer supported by VMware. However, when I look at the release notes for 6.3, I see some quick fixes when using Windows 7 or Vista. Would it be wrong to think that I CAN convert older Windows version using Converter 6.3, but with some adjustments?

If anyone has any experience doing the same, please enlighten me!

You want V2V or P2V ?

Hmm, P2V never had opportunity to do earlier.

Hi @maksym007 ,

Im not sure if you got my last query. but did you do a V2V conversion using any of the legacy OS mentioned in OG query? If so, how was your experience doing it?

Drawing attention to query, @plamen_d & @ivivanov

So, did Converter v6.3 successfully run on and convert a physical Windows 7 system to a virtual machine.
