I shut down VirtualBox and installed VMware Player 15. In VBM, I went into menu > File > Export Appliance > select the VM to export > Next > specify destination folder and file name, but otherwise accept default values > Next > Export. At this point, the VM was 45GB uncompressed and 15GB compressed. I didn’t think the conversion would cause any harm to the source VM I was more interested in tying it all up in a relatively compact package, in case I decided not to come back to VirtualBox. I also made a compressed (.rar) backup of all files in this VM’s folder. Before attempting the conversion, I powered down the VM. For that, How-To Geek (Hoffman, 2017) advised me to proceed as follows: To achieve the conversion to VMware format, it appeared that the favored method might be to use VirtualBox Manager (VBM). Win-R means hold the Windows key, near the lower left corner of most PC keyboards, and hit the R key. Note: commands here tend to be displayed in italics when not set off on a separate line. A more concise summary of these methods appears in a later post. This post describes how I did that, expanding upon methods discussed in another prior post. Instead of starting over to recreate, from scratch, a VMware version of that VirtualBox VM, I wanted to convert the VirtualBox VM to VMware.

That VM was actually a physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversion - that is, a virtual version of a Windows 10 installation on a physical host computer (see post). As described in an earlier post, I had created and configured a VirtualBox virtual machine (VM).
