Convert hyper-v image to VMware server

Hi Anonymous KH,
You can use VMWare tools to convert.

An image is not very helpful, you will need to convert a Hyper-V Virtual Machine using VMware Converter.

The easiest method to do this would be to install the VMware Converter software on the VM.

Hi! Andrew,

My image is in a vhdx extension, must i convert it to a vhd extension before I can convert it using VMware Converter?

You need to install VMware Converter in the VM and have it running, or have the VM running on Hyper-V server, for VMware Converter to convert.

You cannot just convert a FILE to a VM using VMware Converter.

HI! Andrew,

I got it.

The new VMware server is using the converted image from the Hyper-V.

Is there a way to remove the Ctrl + Alt option so that I do not have to press it in order to move out my mouse cursor?

Have you installed VMware Tools ?

Hi! Andrew,

Yes I have and it resolved that release cursor issue.

Another question.

This image is taken from a Hyper-V server and now I used it for an ESX server.

My boss told me to remove the Hyper-V integration services as this is running on an ESX server.

Where do I find if the Hyper-V services were installed in the first place?

Hi! Andrew,

In Windows 2016, I saw it in the services and as you have said, I have disabled them.

Thanks.

All done then!

Yup
