Is it possible to create a Virtual Machine from an PC image files?
Hello everyone,
My gold is to create a PTV machine. However, the Physical machine is in production and I do not want to take any risks. What I did is to create an image of this Physical Machine to be install in other similar PC. Than, from this PC not in production, I was going to create the Virtual Machine with VMware Converter.
Unfortunately, the non-in production PC does not have a Operating System. I did not know this. I was told it was the same as the one in production.
My question is how can I create a Virtual Machine from an Image?
Can I install this image into the PC that does not have a OS?
Thank you

Is there any risk in doing PTV of a PC in Production?
Because, I am doing the image with Acronis and all goes fine.
