| | Transferring Virtual PC disk files from one computer to another I have just purchased a new computer running Vista 64-bit. My old computer is a Vista 32-bit running Virtual PC 2007. I have several Virtual pc's on my old computer that I need to transfer to my new Vista 64-bit computer running Virtual PC 2007 64-bit. Can I transfer these Virtual PC's/disk files to my new computer and have them run? If so how? Thanks for your help. |

To copy your virtual machines from one place to another, use copy and paste in Windows Explorer just as you would copy any other file from one location to another... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |

The short-cuts are located here: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual PC\Virtual Machines You'll need to start VPC for it to create this folder, after that close it, and then copy the shortcuts from your old system to your new system. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |
