How to Convert a VirtualBox VDI Virtual Disk to a VMware VMDK File



If you are using Oracle VirtualBox for your virtualization platform and would like to move your virtual machines over to VMware Workstation, you can convert the disk file from a VDI format to a VMDK format. Then you can attach the VMDK disk file to a new VM in VMware Workstation and run it there.

Here is the command from the video:
qemu-img.exe convert -p “D:VirtualBox VMsWindows 11 ProWindows 11 Pro.vdi” -O vmdk “D:VirtualBox VMsWindows 11 ProWindows 11 Pro.vmdk”

Make sure to use quotes if you have spaces in your path.
