I just tested something else. It's not just the partition. I just successfully moved the computer to an ESXi. There's plenty of space there. I shrunk the volume in Windows to 100GB. So, 400GB of the hard drive is unallocated. Now I've tried migrating to Proxmox using P2V. I still get the same error....

I've been trying that the whole time. Unfortunately, I can't copy the log as text. I can only access the computer via RDP from my phone.

I won't shrink the original disk. I don't want to destroy the system. It has quite complex software installed, and the provider no longer exists to configure the installed software. Therefore, I want to virtualize the PC, as it's much easier to secure that way.

Thank you very much. I would migrate the VM, then shrink the hard drive in Windows and then in Proxmox. I would be very reluctant to shrink the hard drive on the PC I'm converting.

Hi all, I'm trying to migrate a local physical Windows machine to Proxmox using StarWind V2V Converter. The physical disk is 500 GB in size, but only about 80 GB is actually used. The destination Proxmox node has only 300 GB free space, so in theory, this should be enough – especially since I select...

I tested a Win10 and Win11 computer. With the VMware vCenter Converter, only the Win10 computer where the mouse worked.

Thanks for the answer.

I still have 2 questions.
Can I install the VMware Tools on the bare metal beforehand or will that affect further operation on the physical machine?

So far I have used the VMware vCenter Converter and have not had any problems. Does it integrate the tools when converting?

How can I do that without a mouse?

When I start the setup via Esxi it doesn't work.

Hello,

I moved 2 physical PCs to an ESXi using the StarWind V2V Converter, P2V Migrator.

Some PCs can also be booted in ESXi.

However, I can't get a mouse cursor to control anything via RDP or in the remote console in the ESXI.

Cool, I'm happy about that. I still have about a week of vacation left, maybe the new build will be ready after that.

Can I see the version number of the current build somewhere? I use the link in the email to download it, but the number is not included in the file name.

I just tested it again on a Windows 11 system. I have the same behavior there.

Is there a log somewhere that I can provide?

Hello, I would like to migrate my physical computer to proxmox. I go through all the settings (P2V, Entire Machine, all Volumes, Proxmox, login details, VM settings). When I then want to restart the process, the V2V Converter closes completely. I tested it with and without qcow2. What could be the r...
