![]() Well done Macrium -I know this was always a feature in the pro product - but it works too in the free one using method above. Note also the VMWare method of doing a V"P conversion is hideous and doesn't work properly - not only that it takes forever. You don't need the pro version of Macrium or other fiddly methods -especially for those wanting a Virtual to Physical (V2P) conversion - and on different hardware. (Re-size partitions if you want to afterwards since your VM probably will have a smaller "C" partition than a typical "Physical" installation). You will probably need to apply some updates e.g display driver but Windows updates will find most of them - for the display though I had to go into device manager and click om update for the "basic Ms display driver" - Windows then loaded the correct Intel display driver and HDMI audio driver.ħ) after updating etc you will probably need to re-activate windows (and possibly Office if you had that installed on the VM). (By dual boot I mean dual boot from internal HDD's - not booting OS's from external USB drives etc).Ĥ) Run Restore image - Important - do not boot the restored image yet - reboot the computer with the macrium rescue drive again.ĥ) now choose fix boot problems -and choose the W10 installation from the dropdown -it will re-create the bcd etc.Ħ) Now re-boot computer again - Windows should boot. Target - HP envy laptop intel CPU with intel graphics.ġ) Inside the VM attach USB device and run macrium to create a system imageĢ) on the target machine connect the USB device where you stored the image and a bootable macrium rescue media.ģ) delete ALL the target partitions from the target (if you dual boot then delete the Windows partitions - I haven't tested this scenario in dual boot as I never need to. The VM had virtio disk drive, virtio network adapter and virtio display. Source : a QEMU / KVM Windows 10 VM on a Linux Host running with an AMD x4321 CPU (opteron I think) You can't get much more different hardware than this: This method can be used pretty well where there's different hardware involved or creating V2P (a Virtual to Physical conversion) whatever VM system you are running. ![]() Macrium Free version is also brilliant at restoring to totally different hardware.
