The question was for how to convert VHDx file to VHD format<b> without having &quot;2012 server&quot;.</b> <br />
VMware stanalone converter &quot;stands alone&quot; only of &nbsp;other VMWare products (meaning: can be installed and run alone), and it uses microsoft vhdx driver to do what it stands for.<br />
Of course Microsoft Disk2VHD utility uses exact same and only way.<br />
<br />
- So, no support for VHDX &nbsp;format whatsoever for &nbsp;win7 or 2008(r2).<br />
<br />
- &nbsp;And there is no third party sofware &nbsp;that brings this function to win7/2008 and older.<br />
<br />
Solution -&gt; Use win8(8.1 and 10) or 2012 server r2 with hyper-v 2012 r2 to convert the vhdx to vhd to use it on earlier windows.

Hi Everyone<br />
<br />
We've received a VM that needs to be loaded onto a Server 2008 R2 server, however the VM is in .vhdx format.<br />
How do we convert the VM to .vhd without a 2012 server?<br />
<br />
Thanks

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
