Free Conversion tool from RUNNING machine to vmware VM
Hi there
Just in case some people might want to create VM's from their physical running machines this FREE tool from the main VMware Enterprise stuff can be used on Stand alone machines.
Works fine as well --I've used it to create several VM's from running physical machines (you can carry on working while the tool builds the VM).
VMware vCenter Converter: P2V Virtual Machine Converter | VMware United Kingdom
Here's a VM (W8.1 enterprise X-64) created from my Running physical machine (Hostname Blackdog). Photoshop running on the VM - no problem.
A nice practical use for this for example is to create a W8.1 VM system of your current working machine - with all your applications installed and then from the W8.1 VM you've created you can then do an UPDATE within the VM to W10 -- saves re-installing all your applications again - great for testing too.
Cheers
