Win7 clone to be used on Win10 in a vmware environment

[Dark0]

Hi Everyone,

I have a windows 7 pc with a whole bunch of apps installed. I need to clone that in order to be able to use on a new windows 10 installation. Reason for this is becuause I have a program that isn't win 10 compatable.

What would the best tool be to clone the hard drive and to run that clone on my new win 10 pc ... like vmware.

Thank you all in advance

Most VM tools (VmWare, Hyper-V) have "real-to-virtual HDD conversion".

The resultant VHD can almost certainly be used in VMWare or VirtualBox, as well as the native Hyper-V.
