Hello,
I have a physical Windows 10 system that I'd like to convert to run on an ESXi 7 host, but I'd like to have the two disks created as thin provisioned. I recently used the StarWind V2V convertor to migrate a laptop to the same host, but don't remember seeing an option that allowed me to specify thin provisioning for the target volumes.

I noticed in another forum post that thin provisioning is possible, and I was hoping someone could tell me where I should specify it throughout the conversion procedure. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this!

Hi,

I think the post contents are little bit different from what the title for the topic says.
Welcome to StarWind forum. While converting, there is an option for thin disks.
P.S. i'd rather not use thin disks due to performance hit and risk of overprovisioning.
