I'm looking for some guidance on Virtual to Physical (V2P) conversions. I searched the forum for 'V2P' and for the first time, received no hits on a search topic.
A little background first: Following Shawn's excellent tutorial on "How to Install Windows 8 on VMware Player," I recently swtiched from a dual boot Windows 7 & 8 system to running 7 as my 'host' OS and 8 as a guest OS inside a new virtual machine that I set up on my C: drive SSD.
I plan on getting used to Windows 8 and trying out my apps over the next few weeks (or months). So far, I really like 8 a lot!
This is all new to me, and today I started thinking about how I will eventually transition Windows 8 from being the 'guest' OS over to the primary 'host' OS. When this time comes, I probably would consider converting 7 over as a guest OS.
Would that be one of the 'correct' ways to eventually do this?
Regardless, I thought I would post this thread to see what other Virtual Machine users do to complete such a transition, and to find out what other options might exist?
Shawn, another tutorial?
Thank you!
