Please note that you need to pick a destination with enough free storage space as the process won’t complete successfully otherwise.Īll that you need to do is select the output path and file name (with the vhdx extension), and pick the volumes that you want to be included in the virtual image. The application displays the destination path and file name in its interface, and below that the available volumes. Tip: you can run the program from the command line as well using the format disk2vhd. The program requires elevation, but can be used to create a virtual machine copy of one, some or all available volumes of the PC it is run on.
The program is portable, and you can run it from any location after you have extracted its archive. The conversion of a live Windows system to a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine image is very easy thanks to Sysinternals excellent Disk2vhd program for Windows. This guide offers instructions on converting Windows installations to Microsoft Hyper-V, VirtualBox and VMware virtual images. Some come with the required tools so that you only need to run them, others are available as third-party programs that you need to run and use instead. Most virtualization products support the conversion of live Windows installations to virtual machine images. Or, you want to use the image as an option to access data from an old machine that you won’t use anymore after the conversion. There are quite a few use cases for wanting to convert a Windows installation to a virtual machine image maybe you want to run tests on the virtual image afterwards, for instance to run an update to see how it goes. Īpart from the Window 11 Enterprise Edition Evaluation Edition, the virtual machine images also include: The virtual image is available in four types, packaged according to the four popular virtual machines: VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, and Parallels. Well, of course, the size of the Window 11 Enterprise Edition virtual image will be greater than an ISO file because it has already been installed and the user just needs to deploy it, hence it comes in the size of 20GB. To make things easy for the Virtual machine world, Microsoft has recently released pre-built and installed with few features Virtual machine images of Windows 11 Enterprise Edition for developers or enterprise administrators to quickly deploy Win 11 on their respective virtual machines without waiting for minutes to an hour in installing and setting up essential things they required.
