Hi all!!!
I apologize if this sounds too basic, but I do not have too much experience with all VMWare products (only some hands on ESX server 3.5). I had an old Dell Inspiron 1526 laptop (250 GB disk, 20Gb recovery partition, 220Gb system partition with about 40Gb free), the laptop died but the disk survived. Now I want to convert that disk to a VM to run it using VMWae Player, but as far as I understand, I need some kind of VM Server (ESX, NSX or so) to do a P2V conversion. I only have my current laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) and a few external disks totaling 1.5Tb. I currently have no budget to get better hardware.
I have looked at VCenter Converter, but I understand it needs Windows Server or ESX/NSX. Have I not understood? Do I have any option?
Thanks in advance,
GG.
