Hi, I have an existing win10 installation which I want to copy and then use as

thing i remember about the response was Disk2vhd.
1) From where you have win10 installation? It comes from a physical machine or VM?
From a physical machine.
Yes this question from physical is necessary, especially if enabling
proper drivers in Windows is needed.
It would be from a physical machine, and its my hope to then install
qubes on this machine, and then run this win10 vm (along with other VMs)
on this machine.
2) In which format? OVA, VMDK?
Well i guess it depends, I am fine with whatever that is using vmware to
copy the physical machine to ova or vmdk - my pref i guess would be
whichever is easier.
I would go to use qemu-img for converting VMDK (certainly in sparse format if
it comes from vCenter) into raw image. Then, creating a standalone HVM in Qubes
with sufficient space then dd from your image to your root lvm partition of the
newly created VM.
Thanks for the concise suggestion, i think i got it.
Will get it a try. Cheers
So i am thinking its possible to copy an existing installation, and hoping its
possible to use that image as a template in Qubes but am really unsure about
the details.
Is there a write or relevant howto for doing something like this?
Thanks!
Best,
