Let’s assume that you’re about to migrate to a brand-new hardware platform with the latest

operating system available for it. Your current system is quite obsolete, but you still need access to

some of its software. You don’t want to waste time re-installing the old software to the new system,

and you do know for sure that the bulk of it won’t work anyway. The best way out is to virtualize your

old system.

But before you start, please make sure the following conditions are met:

• Your hard disk has enough free space to store a virtual image of your Windows (depends

on the system).

• You’ve got one of the supported virtualization software (MS Virtual PC, VMware

Workstation, or VMware Fusion). You can get MS Virtual PC for free if you’ve purchased

Windows 7 Professional or higher and have got a CPU with the Intel-VT or AMD-V support).

As for VMware - you can purchase it online or at a local software store.

To make a virtual disk out of your current system, please do the following:

1. Click the P2V Copy item of the Wizards menu (any of the ways described earlier can also be

used here).

2. On the Wizard's Welcome page, click the Next button.

3. Select either an entire hard disk or only the system partition you want to make a virtual disk of.

It’s pretty enough to select the system partition only to make your Windows

start up in a virtual environment. However that doesn’t guarantee all your

applications will work, as they can be installed on the other partitions of the

disk.

4. Choose your virtualization software vendor and a number of additional parameters, including.

• Type of the virtual disk. You can either create an IDE or a SCSI virtual disk (relevant for

VMware only);

• Create a split disk. You can choose whether to automatically cut the resulted virtual

image to files of 2 GBs or not (available for VMware only);

• Pre-allocate all disk space. You can choose whether to pre-allocate all space of the

future virtual disk, or do it dynamically;
